Obsolete Skills

Post by Mike »

Obsolete Skills is an alphabetical list of all the obsolete skills that you just don't need any more. I love the one about THACO (or To Hit Armour Class 0 for those not in the know). []

Hmm...I seem to remember doing a lot of the geekier, computer related stuff at Uni only six years ago as core elements! Does that make my degree obsolete as well? :???:

I was under the impression that technical degrees were usually obsolete within five years or so. Just as well you've been putting the degree to good use and learning new stuff in the meantime, Al.

That list brings back some fond memories. Double-speed tape-to-tape copying... heh. Nice find, Mr. Riley.

D'oh! Ah well, I'm sure that I can transfer to the cleaning department when I'm eventually found out! ;-)
