Last millennium. That's 1000 years ago! 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Yeah, that Viking age software really was a mess. From Vikings for Vikings.

Really... granted I haven't used it since the 90s. I just went the Adobe route after having "fun" with it and never looked back.

According to some of the posts in this thready, you are over a 1,000 years old.
I am sure you attribute this longevity to dining on fine wines and cheese, possibly a good curry from time to time?

I suspect the illegal narcotics helped as well.

Elephant it, why not? So long as their use doesn't cause problems, it's just a different experience to alcohol.
Besides, we're one of very few generations to live through two palindrome years. Perhaps the third, I suppose. 99 & 101, 999 and 1001, 1991 and 2002. One may as well enjoy oneself after a healthy dose of hard work and helping others.
Yeah, I used to get out more.

You know, even in the first century AD, there where people that lived longer than 20 years. So a single person living through 55 - 66 -77 - 88 -99 - 101- 111 would not be so hard to imagine. I don't think they numbered their years like that, though, so they might not have known how special they were.

My experience seconds that statement.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

beg to differ, almost every question in the lounge is answered.
If the question is interpreted differently than expected: whose fault is that?
It's just like coding, if programs don't do what you expected is that the computer being obtuse?

I only asked for the answer; you were supposed to know the question.

Is that what they're calling Bloatus Goatse (aka lotus notes) these days? Because every lounger knows that particular pile of filth owns the buggiest code in the world title.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

We switched to Outlook/Exchange two years ago, yet we still have to keep Lotus Notes installed. Why? Because the I.T. department's ordering system is based around Lotus Notes, and all the people who know how it worked have been laid off.
