Just, 77 now, 78 next year. Well, we have had very different routes but 
finished up in the same place. I have people asking me for help with 
their computers, then they look so surprised when I tell them that I 
can't help them because I haven't used Windows for years. Sadly, when I 
tell them that I use Linux a common response is "never heard of it".
