25 here :p

The problem is there's no punch card reader for the N900. How am I going to input my programs?

58 and messing with computers for over 40 years.

Old. Older than the maemo target audience. Old enough to be your mother, most of you.

But still young inside.

57. Old enough to know how and young enough to follow through. 1st computer was a 286 running DOS 3. 1st internet provider was Compuserve. Using Linux at home for...I dunno...9-10 years, I'd have to check.

Oh man I remember Compuserve, I remember Prodigy too. Those were the days. I still remember using HyperTerminal to inline chat with my only other friend with the internet when I was like 10 years old. Good times.

33,5 and very happy that there was option for 26-35 instead of the usual 21-30/31-40. :D

Off-Topic, but please tell us about what kind of computers you were using 40+ years ago. I'm a sucker for computing history and honestly interested.
