Dang! Youngest? I don't *feel* it! The defining moment for me was about 5
years ago when I was the Network Engineer for a local High School.

I was in the server room, working on a system with my Altec/Lansing
system w/sub cranked up playing Zepplin's "Black Dog". A couple of the
"Student Administrators" (two kids w/computer interest that had been
helping out) walked in and asked what I was listening to. Incredulously,
I said, "Zepplin man!" their response... a sneer and this phrase which I
think will haunt me forever:

"Ug! Geezer Rock!"

Then they walked out.... I sat, stunned and heart broken. I was truly old.

:P

PS: I have to admit, those kids helped me update my playlists from my old
standards like Rush, Boston, Foreigner, Styx, Whitesnake, Zep, Van Halen
etc. with some pretty great new stuff like Nickelback, Staind, Godsmack,
NIN, Rammstein, Puya, System of a Down, Metallica, Cake, Evanescense
etc... :)
