Agreed. Exercise has been shown (at least in lab animals) to preserve the myelin sheath from pathologic changes which occur with time.
Like you mentioned, I would hazard a guess that this is more a function of decreased exercise and physical activity than directly from aging.
And this quote is one of the more nonsensical statements I've heard in awhile: "That may well be why, besides achy joints and arthritis, even the fittest athletes retire and all older people move slower than they did when they were younger."
Wtf?! If they're the fittest, well by definition they're still the best. And if the quote is referring simply to aerobic fitness, I imagine most highly fit athletes don't retire due to mental slowness, but for many other reasons (traveling, lots o money, etc.)
Also, vegetable oil is a good solvent for a lot of polymers. And I imagine that there are several oil-soluble polymers on a motherboard. It might not dissolve them quickly, but it'll do it eventually.
Digital reproduction and preservation of a fragile and decaying piece of art is a waste of time. Whereas the religious following of/. articles, now *that* is time well spent.

I tried it with a Rick Springfield disk that skipped because of a scratch.
I thought a scratched Rick Springfield CD *was* better.

I for one welcome our new worm overlords!
"A surprising 16% had never heard of the term 'spam' to describe unsolicited e-mail..." which is surprising considering where the term comes from.
"And nearly 95% failed to find the use of the term 'faggot' for a cigarette even mildly amusing."
