Well, Izaac Waltons "The Compleat Angler" was written in about 1650 or so which 
was the first literary account of fly fishing but I think it actually dates 
back to Roman times.

Here in the new world ....  in the midwest USA, old, IMO, is anything 
over 100...  ;-)    The house across the street from me was built in the 
1840s and rebuilt in 1910 (since it was getting old then), it is sort of 
a house within a house.

That house is considered really old around here.    When my sister 
bought a house a few years ago, she insisted on a new one..   Now her 
house is 12+ years old and considered an older house by many ...  (not 
me.. )

I've been to Rome where I seen the shopkeepers often hold open the doors 
with a piece of carved Roman column.    Some there, would consider your 
parents farm relatively new!

I was running Ubuntu 8.04 but that was pretty old (2 years! ).   So I 
started using 9.10 (less than a year old).   But that was getting old, 
so I loaded up a copy of 10.04.

So it is all about perspective I suppose.   :-)

FWIW, I'm not sure they actually had fly rods 150 years ago.

Dave
