In fact I am a little older, even in hexadecimal. This is my Year, Anthony (I am the Black Water Dragon. So, you can work that out). ;-) In hex, x003C. How about you, have you switched to hexadecimal yet? I am looking now for the next higher number-system. Suggestions? ;-) Take care of yourself!, and thanks again. --Joe > Anthony Wu <wuasg@...> wrote: > > I assume you are 36. Converted to the decimal system, you are 54. Right? > Anthony
