Code:
echo "ibase=16; 35" | bc
Ranted at too many systems and OS until I loaded Slackware-3 onto my AMD486-DX100 [I didn't have enough floppies and my modem was 14.4k, so a friend (Slackware? wazzat?) burned the CD image after d/l at 56K]. Switched completely with 10 and SLAMD64.
So glad there are a bunch here of my "seniority!"

Age 69 and a... uh, lessee, uh, August is eight, April is 4, so that's, um, 4 and, uh, 4/12 reduces to some damn thing and that's .3333 so it works out to 69.333 and that's a third, right?
Dang, kids, this is what's going to happen to you! That's what old people are for -- so you'll know what you've got to look forward to! I can remember stuff from 50 years ago but the last five minutes is all a blur.
