You're right Jim, the kids these days, no stamina, no gumption!  You give
them one tiny piece of electronics to carry around in their weedy little
toothpick arms, and they start belly-aching and crying about how heavy it
is.  Back in my day, they gave us a thing like a portable sewing machine
that weighed 25 pounds and only had half-an-hour's worth of battery life.
Did we whine and complain?  Of course not!  We just manned up and got on
with the job, right?

Well anyway, that's how I remember it now...

 
Shalom.
