<gently>You know those advertisements AARP keeps sending? Much as I deny it, they aren't some terrible mistake.

The 90s were 30 years ago. Many a "Senior Software Engineer" hadn't even been born yet. Yeah, to them the 90s is ancient tech. Cut 'em some slack; they're just youngsters who don't really understand the world yet. It's the weekend, so grab your favorite beverage, kick back, and tune out to some ancient classical music--like the Beatles.
