	Actually, it is two distinct classes of individuals in my experience. 
Class X = those with too much education and class Y = those that are 
older than me.
	The later is just a joke since that class changes every year. :)

	I do agree that it is dependent upon the individual, but as a "general 
rule of thumb" and as the "old" saying goes, you can't teach an old dog 
new tricks. Not that this is a prejudice to "older" people, just a 
common observation I have heard and experienced my whole life.

	Now that I think about it, there is one other class. The "fanboy" class 
(a.k.a. zealots). I think that would be class F. ;)

	Other alan? As in alan thicke?!
