55 years is not too old. My uncle is 71 years old and he has assembled
Pentiums and AMDs for his own purposes. He sold his business and is now a
paid manager of the same business. In facts you are still a youngster.
Between 60 and 63 my grandfather fathered two children. My grand-uncle
fathered a girl at aged 69!!
