Of course not!
But we can aspire to move up to that.

At the age of 47 I have finally reached the pinnacle
of riffraffism, I
get two hair cuts a year, shave once a week, wear scratched bifocals,
drive a Ford F450 Super duty, Diesel no less, have a Jack Russell terrier
named George, often fart in public and, are you ready for this, use a
Packard Bell as my primary computer. Any one care to try and beat that?

Age 40, just did my semi-annual shave this morning, Drive a 1982 Ford
Bronco (with a souped up engine) and a 1963 all-stock Chevy Nova, live
on a farm, fart AND belch in public, have a black lab named Max who is
so old he is going white around the muzzle, own several weapons
(including a muzzle-loader), and have a both a Tandy 100 and a
slide-rule sitting on my desk at work, both of which get used often.

Hehehe. I'm 25, I get my hair cut once a year, shave once or twice a
month, and drive a Toyota with rust on every single body panel, and
produce earth-shattering belches in public.
I wouldn't touch a Packard-Bell with a ten-foot pole, though. 8-)
Sounds like most of the people on the list that
I've meet!

I'm 12. My mom makes me get a haircut every month. If I belch in public,
let alone in the house, I get punished and can't use the computer for a
while. Farting in any situation results in severe beatings from dad, so
as a result I always have a bloated feeling. I look forward to the day
that I'll be able to shave because then that means I'll finally be out on
my own, and I'll show dad! I'll show him that I'm not a big loser! Go to
hell, dad! Go to HELL and DIE! DIE DIE DIE!
Ok, so can we move on to other topics now?

This _might_ sound funny were it not for the Jeff Worley tragedy
earlier this year. Ouch.

Don't drive at all.

workbench and scatter tiny components around.

Does a much-hacked IBM PC/AT with the original motherboard (with added
chips and kludgewires) beat a Packard-Bell?
