A friend of mine from back in engineering school went back for his doctorate and had to take a class that had some younger guys in it.
The prof, who knew my friend, asked the class what size was the first hard drive they ever owned. They went all around the class until they got to my friend who said, "Five megabytes," to which this kid in front of him quickly responds in a really authoritative voice to correct the poor, misguided, computer-illiterate, newbie elder, "I *think* you mean five *gigabytes*!"
I've always disliked the word newbie .
