Dose of reality.

[Kevin R]

OK, the no real EFI content other than I'm in my late 30's and a lot of you
are there or older and we all work on our EFI's.
Anyway, this dose of reality came across my e-mail and I just had to share
it with all of you.

 THIS YEARS FRESHMAN
 Just in case you weren't feeling too old today, this
 will certainly change things.
 Each year the staff at Beloit College in Wisconsin put
 together a list to try to give the faculty a sense of
 the mindset of this year's incoming freshmen.

 Here is this year's list:

 *The people who are starting college this fall across
 the nation were born in 1982.

 *They have no meaningful recollection of the Reagan
 Era and probably did not know he had ever been shot.

 *They were prepubescent when the Persian Gulf War was
 waged.

 *They were 11 when the Soviet Union broke apart and do
 not remember the Cold War.

 *They have never feared a nuclear war.

 *They are too young to remember the space shuttle
 blowing up.

 *Their lifetime has always included AIDS.

 *Bottle caps have always been screw off and plastic.

 *Atari predates them, as do vinyl albums. The
 statement you sound like a broken record means nothing
 to them.

 *They have never owned a record player.

 *They have likely never played Pac Man and have never
 heard of Ping-Pong.

 *They may have never heard of an 8 track. The Compact
 Disc was introduced when they were 1 year old.

 *They have always had an answering machine.

 *They have never seen a rotary-dial telephone.

 *Most have never seen a TV set with only 13 channels,
 nor have they seen a black-and-white TV.

 *They have always had cable.

 *There has always been VCRs, but hey have no idea what
 BETA is.

 *They cannot fathom not having a remote control.

 *They were born the year that Walkmen were introduced
 by Sony.

 *Roller-skating has always meant inline for them.

 *Jay Leno has always been on the Tonight Show.

 *They have no idea when or why Jordache jeans were
 cool.

 *Popcorn has always been cooked in the microwave.

 *They have never seen Larry Bird play.

 *They never took a swim and thought about Jaws.

 *They can't imagine what hard contact lenses are.

 *They don't know who Mork was or where he was from.

 *They never heard: " Where's the beef?"," I'd walked a
 mile for a Camel", or "de plane, de plane".

 *They do not care who shot J.R. and have no idea who
 J.R. is.

 *Michael Jackson has always been white.

 *Kansas, Chicago, Boston, America, and Alabama are
 places, not groups.

 *McDonalds never came in Styrofoam containers.

 *They don't have a clue how to use a typewriter.

 Do you feel old yet? pass this on to the other old
 fogies in your life.
