Still crazy after all these years

[Leon Goldstein]

I like old things, maybe because that includes myself.  My other hobby
is going to a rifle range with a 90-year old Swedish Mauser.  It bugs
the hell out of the young bucks when I outshoot their AR's.

I'm still running Libranet.  I have to boot into SuSE 13.1 to access my
credit card and insurance, etc. since these websites require updated  Java.
