"boring old farts"

I have a friend who has been in computing even longer than I ... starting on Edsac I ... whose version of this is "extremely old farts" or EOF (computerese for End Of File). Having recently passed birthday number 71, he wears this as a badge of honor. Given that he is still a highly active columnist, author, and consultant, I'd say he was right.
