I’m nearly 64.

Back when I was a teenager, people in their 20s were “old farts.”

Nowadays, I look at people in their 40s, as “kids.”

Here’s my first ever engineering project (1987): https://littlegreenviper.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/TF30...

I was 25, at the time, and a fairly newly-minted EE.
