Hey - me too (but I don't yet consider myself an old fart, although maybe my kids do ;-) ).
If you know of no restaurants where you qualify for a senior citizen discount, you're not there yet - unless you never visit restaurants, in which case you'd make the cut by qualifying for geriatric specials from auto clubs, banks, or brokers, among others, or by a certificate of attendance from your 40th high school reunion. :-)
The first version of Linux I tried was Red Hat v2.0. Unfortunately my OS/2 Warp 4 CD got damaged, otherwise I'd probably still have it installed somewhere.
There's no way to install from an original Warp CD on a HD of more than 1024 "cylinders". http://www.updcd.tk/ provides a way to make a CD from it that will work. If you bring your damaged CD to a local OS/2 user group you could probably get someone to give you a good copy of the original or their UPDCD.
How good would it be if someone could do a port of the Workplace Shell that would run on Linux? Now *there* was a useful desktop environment...
