I'd be well chuffed to live that long Tuck!
Still, medical technology moves on - you never know. I can see it now:
everyone celebrating the new year 2100; somebody pushes a drink into the
hand of some ancient old codger, who's still crouched in front of his
ancient computer screen and keyboard (when by now all computers are voice
only). Somebody whispers a question: "What is he doing?" Somebody whispers a
reply: "Same as he has for the last century, _still_ trying to write his own
compiler". There's a short silence, then: "What's a 'compiler'?" Nobody
knows.
You never know ;-)
