Maybe it's not the Pick model that is getting old, maybe it's
the Pickies who are getting old. Anybody here under 50? How
many over 60, which Is old enough to worry most customers?

51 here, an age I never contemplated reaching, to the the truth.

42? You're a young man!

Three of the four Pick programmers in my office are under 40. I'm the
youngest, at 36.

Most of the Pick programmers I've met have been no more than 5 years
older than me. I also know a couple who are 2 and 3 years younger than
I am, although they're far more interested in VB/.Net.

I don't currently know any under 30, although I was well under 30 when I
started.

I'd be thrilled to be 40 again.

An Me-109 cockpit in which to place a flight simulator configured to
be an Me-109. Nice! Now do one for a Spitfire and it will almost be
like being there!

Hehe. Thanks. It's actually on the series list. The projectors and a
Grob 115 cockpit are ahead of it though. (projector can be seen at
