I hope you aren't claiming the economic boom of the 90's is a result of the baby boomers. The gains made in the last 10 years are not due to sales of red convertables and Rogaine. They are due to the fact that the computer generation finally grew up and entered the work force. We decided to show you fogeys how to use those PCs that IBM invented back in 79. Tell me, what is the percentage of people in any office working on the technical staff over the age of 40? I haven't seen one on ours, but we only have about 60 people on tech, so its not a big sample. You have full rights to claim the boom of the 60's, oh wait, that was your parents. Hmm, the 70's, nope, terrible economy. Ahh, the 80's, an economic boom fueled by massive govermental spending! Bingo, got one for you. Of course, that spending is still going on today, but instead of funding the military-industrial complex, we are making HMO's and federal welfare workers rich.
