OT Are you feeling old? If not, consider this: The people who are starting college this fall across the nation were born in 1980. The Iranian hostage crisis occurred before they were conceived. They have no memory of a time before M-TV. "New Wave" is their PARENTS' musical generation; the Beatles are their GRANDPARENTS'. They have no meaningful recollection of the Reagan era. They were prepubescent when the Persian Gulf War was waged. Black Monday 1987 is as significant to them as the Great Depression. Their world has always included AIDS. Having not endured the Disco Scare, they can romanticize the 1970s. They see "Family Ties" as something middle aged ladies watch. They watched "Star Wars" years ago, when they were kids -- on video. Atari predates them, as do vinyl albums and cassette audiotapes; they may have heard of an 8-track, but probably never actually seen (or heard) one. From their earliest years, a camera was something you used once and threw away. As far as they know, stamps have always cost about 32 cents. The oil crisis is history of which they probably know nothing -- and why anyone WOULDN'T buy a Suburban is beyond them.

It could be it is time to set-up the "ASNDers who rode from $46 to $22 and back again" chat page. We could get Gary Korn and all the original players back together to share plays, proposed investment ideas and research. We could probably have a pretty strong group and make more money for the group than by doing it alone. Just a thought. Then the "Ultimate Contest" could reside in a new setting with the original group checking in. Rather then chasing all over the threads to find all the bodies that made it through the dark times.
