I’m not old, but my socks were issued to their first owner before the battle of the bulge which is still being fought.
It is not your fault that you are so young, you will get over it.
(Any one seen my glasses?)

Age gap ??
Is that not a thing that can be filled with expanding foam,
from most good buliders merchants.
Shure works well around window frames.

The reason that there are virtually no people under 30 here is that they are too busy texting on their mobiles to post...

Going back to what some of us were interested about.. We want Tapatalk access for this forum so us "children" can use the forums from our phones. :-)

SO, so far now, Slavac, Simon, and Sirius are the only "under 30's"

we've got a small handful of "30's"

a small handful of "40's"

And then there's the majority, that apparently built the pyramids from what I read...

:-D

I was 39 on my last birthday. Of course, that is because I stopped having birthdays back when Javier Perez de Cuellar was Secretary General of the UN.

And I think Sirius is pulling your leg. Just a little.

Still hanging in at 42

It's intriguing to see that the majority around here, only had abacuses as children, yet are so involved in computing. ;-)

No one in my family over the age of 40 can even use a computer, it's kinda funny actually, with the comments about the "inner-web" and "face-spaces"

I started with Apple II, Commodore 64 and worked my way through the various flavors of Windows and Mac OS with a sprinkling of Linux thrown in as well.

I started with a commadore vic 20 in 1985 i think, peeked and poked my way to complete and total frustration. I threw it away and got a real machine, an IBM PC-xt I think, it had the fpu added, dos'd my way to winders. Used winders 3.1 for a couple years then bought a mac quadra 840av, I so hated that machine. After a couple years I built my first PC and have never looked back. I have built maybe 500 machines for me, family and friends since then. Started on the net with a slip acct and telnet. Now I am quite happy with winders vista, never a crash or a problem. Never had a virus or anything bad infect my machine. Cant wait for the advances of the next 50 years. What a great time we live in if you are into tech.

I know we have had some here as young as 10 (ten, not a typo).

I learned to do computations on a slip stick (slide rule for those that have not seen the slang before). The first computer I wrote programs for was a PDP-11/40 by Digital Equipment and our High School was very fortunate to have one. The second computer I programmed for was a TRS-80 Model I. The first one I owned was a HeathKit H-100 sporting 2 5.25" floppies and a 10MB full height HD running MS-DOS 2.13.

I too learned on a PDP-11. There was just a teletype, and paper tape reader. After two weeks of instruction in BASIC, I became a computer aide. I was in 9'th grade, and have been hooked ever since. Now I am a software engineer/database developer, and I fix computers on the side.
