Yep, I'm sorry. But I can't prove it, so you've got to believe it.

Last year I was 52, and this year, I will hopefully turn 54, if all goes well. I was born 1963, shortly after JFK was shot. I watched Neil Amstrong stepping onto the moon on our black-and-white TV when I was 6 years old. We got our first colour TV, when I was 11 in 1974, to watch the FIFA World Cup (which was called Football/Soccer World Cup by then). It took place in the country where I live (Germany). My first computer was a KIM1 and a wang 700, which I used, when I was about 13 or 15. The wang was quite new, had 1 KB (1024 Bytes!) RAM, and you had to pay over $1000 for it. Did this convince you?

I could as well have made all this up. Actually, I had to look up the year of the moon landing and the world cup. I thought is was 1967 and 1970. My memory is beginning to fade out already.
