46, and in the race between bald and grey, bald is winning by a landslide.

Forget the walkie-talkies mentioned earlier...I still have my first cellphone, a Motorola "brick" phone, with the 4 hour standby and 45 minutes talk time. Airtime was $1.00 per minute....

I'm 16. The first computer i used was (outdated at the time) Tandy. It had a Shamrock "Lepercard" hard disk card. It was a whooping 30 megs with up to 7.5 megs per second (RLL controller). It has a 35 page installation guide.

Re: How old are you?
 

I'm so old i remeber when this thread started, furthermore when I was young I had to walk to change the TV channel

Re: How old are you?
 

So I exaggerate a bit, actually a mere 60.

Re: How old are you?
 

15 here. Guess that makes me one o' the young'ns.

Re: How old are you?
 

24 here, about to graduate college and try to find a job around here (Southern California). I'm glad my N810 will be right by my side ;):rolleyes:

Re: How old are you?
 

I have the funk of 40,000 years...

Re: How old are you?
 

Thirty two here.

Re: How old are you?
 

Buncha babies. 61, here. I can just about remember the last 2 years of Harry Truman's presidensity. My first home Internet access was a WebTV.

Re: How old are you?
 

Thirty-five. Seems that I'm part of the NIT's largest demographic.

Re: How old are you?
 

26 here. Oh my god these years are just flying!

Re: How old are you?
 

I'm as old as a soil sample. Um...I don't have to give back the N800 do I? :)

Re: How old are you?
 

I'm actually shocked to see so many under 18 on the list. I'm 25 myself. I'm so used to having to answer the 25-30 bracket.. Instead this time, I was lumped in with the 18-24 yr olds. But I feel older. My kids are turning 3 and 4 this week. :(

Re: How old are you?
 

16 here. The first computer I used was an old 386 my Dad bought when I was ~2. Loved computers ever since, especially open source stuff \o/

Re: How old are you?
 

I helped install the world's first computer banking system. It occupied three floors of a building that was one city block in each direction. It had a clock speed of one megahertz. (Actually, we didn't us the term "Hertz" at that time - it was one megacycle.)

One of the vacuum tube computers that I worked on was later shipped to the Smithsonian Institute.

I designed and built my own computer at the same time that Bill Gates designed and built his first computer. I sat back and said "wow - I've done it". Bill moved forward and made $47,000,000,000.

I'm a linux newbie at 62, although I was a unix user before IBM shipped their first personal computer.

Re: How old are you?
 

I think I'd have done a poll with 5-year segments and not 10-year segments. At 35yo, I keep looking at the poll results and wondering how much of that bell curve is "late 20s" and how much at the bell curve is "early 30s".

I own a PS3, but apparently Sony's market analysis ends at 35 as well. Next year, I'll cease to exist as a gamer?

Re: How old are you?
 

Your last known save point will be on 31st Dec 2008, don't forget to take advantage of it!

Re: How old are you?
 

If you cut the head off and count the rings!

Re: How old are you?
 

yeah...there are more geezers then kiddies...weeeeeeee!!!

Re: How old are you?
 

Oh sorry, I did not mean to disrespect my elders, please give me a spank round my bottom in order to discipline me.

Thank you.

Re: How old are you?
 

I used to be in the 26-35 when I voted in this poll
I am now in the 36-45 demographic :) :(

Re: How old are you?
 

If we blanced the poll better (top end would be male life expectancy minus 18) then I'm sure we'd see a normal distribution.

Re: How old are you?
 

how about if 14 year olds start going by months now, since there are so many of us.
I'm 14 and 7 months. :D

Re: How old are you?
 

I don't feel like the only kid here : D
Anyway, my title clearly states that I am a senior member. I should get a discount on my next tablet.

Re: How old are you?
 

Your not the only kid here:p i'm as old as you are.

so far, the yongest people i saw on this thread were 2 members who were 14.

Re: How old are you?
 

anyway, the Beasty boys avatar is a hint you may fit right in the mid 30s.

Re: How old are you?
 

some days, I feel like I might've grown up next door to the great-great-grandson of the guy that invented dirt. not old, but feeling it some days...

Re: How old are you?
 

haha, My first concert was 1987 Beastie Boys Licensed to Ill tour.

It was awesome!!

Re: How old are you?
 

OK, how old am I? I went to see The Who in concert, and they were the opening act for Herman's Hermits!

Re: How old are you?
 

I turned 54 last week. I'm a senior programmer/analyst and program in C++, VB, Java, and COBAL. My first computer was a TRS80. In college I wrote a football game in APL on an IBM Selectric terminal (no video display). I wrote a game in Commodore 128 Basic that was published in Computes Gazette magazine. It would be awesome being a teenager now with all the hi tech toys available. We built and played with shortwave radios when I was 15.

Re: How old are you?
 

I like the rock concert dating method.

My first show was March 17, 1980. Roy Orbison opened for the Eagles.

Re: How old are you?
 

Mine was Alice Cooper at Madison Square Garden in 1972. . .

Re: How old are you?
