Not exactly what you are asking for but may lead you down a useful path. If
you enter this command:
javascript:alert(document.lastModified)
where the URL normally goes in your browser favourites / bookmarks, it will
show you the date last modified of the current webpage you are viewing. e.g.
http://www.zinnamturm.de/ shows as 9 Feb 2007,
http://www.oberon.ch/blackbox.html shows 7 Dec 2006. If the page being
viewed is dynamically generated it won't be much use as it will just show
today's date.

That's just a number - you're only as old as you feel you are. My birthday
was yesterday and I'm not that far behind you so I can say that with some
authority ;-) I carried out a poll on the Delphi newsgroup recently and 10%
were 60 or older. The oldest still claiming to be programming was 75 so hang
in there ...
