RE: Characterset Question

Ha! You guys are all kids! I was born 10 years before USASCII, back when “programming” was moving cables around on a plugboard and “bugs” really did crawl.

Everything depends on the point of view of observer. In human terms paleozoic means very ancient, however, from the point of view of the Earth (in geological sense) 500 Mio years ago is very recently it technologies evolve very quickly (in human terms), so ASCII7 might be considered paleozoic from the point of view Unicode standard version 15.1.0, my son might consider me as paleozoic (ancient) from his point of view, whereas i consider myself at the relatively young lifestage...

Coincidences in overlapping of time scalas of geological evolution, human evolution and it evolution should be considered to be only coincidences, nothing more... (imho)

I was born in 1971. No problem about being myself from the Mesozoic. 😀

Paleozoic US7ASCII? Are implying that I am Paleozoic as well? US7ASCII is 2 years younger than me. The standard was established in 1963 and I was born in 1961. I haven't been so sad since my pet cave bear has died.
