>>Just how will we get the young people into older stuff, be they cars or computers?

Hey, I'm one of them. I'm 23 now, I've been heavy into computers since I was about 14, been going after classics since I was about 17, worked in the computer lab of the local science museum(www.omsi.edu) for a year and a half around that time, got my ham license at 18... And the whole time I've been mostly surrounded by old farts. Rather depressing sometimes. There's a big problem getting younger people into ham radio, too... Hell, getting ANYONE. The old people just get grouchier and rarely teach the others(I'm glad I know a few exceptions to that), then they die and no one knows anything that isn't spelled out to them in 3rd grade(and we all know no one learns anything after that).
