All of you are SO BLESSED!

When I was 17, in July of that year, we saw the first man ever to land on the Moon. 3D drawing, in the manner it is done today, with a computer was scarcely a glimmer in the future.

You have no idea how lucky most of you are to just have all of this technology available at your finger tips.

When I was 8, you could count the number of shows on television that were in color, on one hand.

There were no XBOXES, PS2's Nintendo's or anything close to that.

When I was 19, the IBM 360, a computer that took up an entire room and had to have its programs loaded with punch cards cost roughly $100,000.00 and had a whopping 10K of memory. You could run COBOL and Fortran programs on it.


There are many days that I wish I had been born 70 or even 100 years in the future from when I had been born.

Cheers.
