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

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.

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

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

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. :(

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/

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.

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?
