  >Oh my god this makes me feel ancient now. 
Interesting to muse on people's various "Now I feel ancient" moments.

For me it occurred about 5 years ago when I used to teach at a university. The first time I picked up an application form from an 18 year old applicant, which had the year of birth filled in as '2000', I thought it was a typo. It barely seemed like a handful of years since I'd been seeing in the new millenium at some sleazy nightclub --and here I was interviewing 'adults', who weren't even born then.
