I'm totally serious about reaching 100. I'm now 61, and I seem to be in reasonably good health, aside from being fat and out of shape. And my great-grandfather lived to be 96, in full possession of his faculties until the end. According to current medical predictions, I can already expect to live into my late 80s - and with every year, those numbers go up. Forty years from now, making the century mark won't even be especially remarkable.
Actually, in the words of R.A.H., "I intend to live forever, or die trying." But if the meatware ever does get too worn out to repair, I'll upload myself so fast that the electrons will get warm ;-)
