Hasta La Vista

Tim Berners-Lee, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Ray Ozzie and Eric Schmidt were all born in 1955. 

I don't think they will be reading a couple of new books by one Jim Gatenby, "especially written for the over-50s". Excuse me dude, the Internet was written BY the over-fifties.

Myself, I have never felt the urge to read books about operating systems. If it needs a book, it can't be any good. But at the least the over-fifties can read books, innit? I expect Jim will be deluged with letters from fans pointing out the grammatical error on page 17. 

Finally, here are some elderly people getting excited about Vista (via Seth Godin).
