Remember: 1998 is as old now as 1970 was in 1998.

Eh it's okay. It's just that, man, computers were already so well along by 1998, when I hear "age-old" I think like the 60s, 70s, _maybe_ 80s--but 90s?! oh well! I did a few double takes assuming my mind had flipped the 9 and 8 in 98, but no :D.

		At this point, "age-old" means "64-bit processors were not the default".
