Big oops !

Just had a shoulder replaced Wednesday  Tends to slow one down,
And I may be the oldest here?  I turn 80 on Feb 1.

Thanks for the good wishes, Gents. Compared to several here (e.g. Kipt's shoulder replacement - Yikes!) my injury is trivial. An inappropriate object inserted in a more concealed orifice would have been both more embarrassing and stupider, so thanks for that perspective as well.

I shall attempt another potato this weekend but I'll stay away from avocados!

Compared to Techno's 4500, your are a spring chicken

Hope the shoulder feels better soon

Best wishes with that one, sounds involved.

I had been skimming some of messages, but catching sight of "inappropriate object inserted" followed by "attempt another potato" forced me to go back and read the thread more carefully.

I'll stick with my broken arm, methinks !
Wouldn't fancy your op, kipt.
Get better soon, matey.

As to your other point.
Officially, I'm a few years younger than you, but I CAN draw dinosaurs from memory.

Cheers - Phil.

I am nearing 79. I would settle for a larger memory cache with a state-of-the art retrieval system, new optical and aural processors, and a huge input pre-processor that filters out background noise. The list of mechanical assists and repairs is even longer.
