Oldfartism is just like alcoholism, if you ever ask yourself the question "Am I an old fart?", you are. You should immediatly get in touch with the local chapter of OFA for support and therapy. Now what about people like me who think about asking the question? Mark

Not if you're a RF type old fart. In which case, you join The One True Organi- zation For Aging RFs (Radio Folks): the group of "Old Crows". I forget the full and complete name for the organization - any authentic Old Crows out there? -- --==---==---==-- .. And, as in uffish thought he stood, ..

The Association of Old Crows is an organization for people involved
in electronic warfare. They publish Electronic Warfare magazine, sponsor
conferences, and such. Members tend to work for large aerospace companies,
have high level security clearances, and talk about their work in very general
terms.
