Will I need Vista for MCSA if I want to work?

I stopped by,just to do my once in a while trolling trying to learn a bit here and there. But I'm glad I did stop by and read this today. I can't help but throw in my 2 cents.

First off, I offer my condolences.
What I don't understand is why most workplaces would discriminate against you,I myself don't consider 65 old. And besides you'd be one of the few employees that wants to work.

Personally I've known people who are 65+ who had experience with computers and while I may or may not have been more familiar with a recent computer system, I had no knowledge of how computers used to work nor a complete understanding of the background of computers. My willing to listen to them allowed me to learn a lot.

On a side note I think a lot of youth has the common misconception that all people over 50 (no offense)don't have any computer skills or knowledge, but in reality they were the ones who helped make computers what they are today,the good parts anyway

I might offer a suggestion, based on my experience. I had to abruptly retire when my knees went bad. I've had one replaced and am about to have the other one replaced. I'm not too agile at present. The situation presented itself when my father-in-law, who has been flying full size and model airplanes since in the late 1930's had a stroke and lost control of his left side. He can walk, but his left hand is for the most part useless. Radio controled models is a 2 handed sport, requiring coordination of both hands. I considered what was available and modified a radio control transmitter to provide a 3 axis control stick (roll, pitch, & yaw) and fabricated a foot pedal throttle control to use with the transmitter. He now has full control of model airplanes, and I learned a lot myself. I haven't attempted to fly models, because I had a subdural hematoma in 1996 and my coordination is not fast enough for 100MPH + airplanes. My success was reported around by ofhers to people and I am very busy adapting model airplane controls to work with the person's abilities. It's quite a thrill to see a person fly a model airplane again and see the big grin on their face. It's worth every minute of it.
