I'm 37 and I haven't stopped getting older yet.

[timbloom]

What if I am 21 and my girlfriend can't stop accusing me of acting like a 2 year old?

You think you've got problems - I'm 36, just about to have a baby with my wife, and still get told the same!!:D
(it must be the weekend cartoons I watch!)

[aethier]

I guess I'm still just a young seedling at the age of 15..

"cheap car hire"...is that the same thing as car rental?? If so, we have the same thing over here. I guess insurance companies know how to screw a person worldwide. :D

I just recently turned 25, so I know the joy of cheap car rental. No more $25 per day underage fees!! Wheeeeee!! :D :D

A local bank just lowered the "FUN-TIMERS" minimum age to 45, and I'm PISSED. As time marches forward, I hope my hips can stay the course. My daughter is all of 8. Wanna know what it's like to be (gasp!) 47 years old and have an 8 year old? When she gets out of college, well, I hope to be ALIVE. Sheesh.

[edesignuk]

19 going on 90...or is that 9 ;) :D :p

[Centris 650]

I'm 33 (and have been using Macs for 16 years) turning 34 in August. My wife however turns 30 on Sept 10th. :D :D I've already started planning a party to get her back for the one she threw me when I turned 30!

[DavPeanut]

14 years old, and using Macs for 11. System administrator or other equal "make the computers work" position for 3 years at school.

I think the thing that I noticed that was interesting about the survey is that I'm also becoming one of the "Old Greybeards".

I'm not nearly as old as the 70+ member (congrats!), but being in the 40-45 age group means that 90% (so far) of the survey respondents are younger than me. Thanks for making me feel like an old fart, guys :-)

I'm 53 and I shaved my beard a couple of years ago when I first saw gray. A late bloomer, too - we have 4 children and I didn't get started till 40. No regrets. I'm getting by with my Powerbook 1400 - my eyes are on the new 17" AlumBook, but I might have to settle for the iMac. - I do a lot of music (MIDI and notation) on the Mac. Hello to everyone.

[wdlove]

I'm 54 and seem to be in the minority. It's great that we have so many young Mac users, that means the the future of Apple is bright. I think that using a Mac will keep me younger! :)

[TimDaddy]

I'll be 24 on Monday. One more year of expensive car insurance.

Same here!!!!

[senseibiz]

just turned 29

[mc68k]

this is a good poll if it only lasts one day, we won't get that good of a spread ditribution, but oh well.

i'm 20 and got my first Apple (which corresponded to my wanting to get into computers) in 1995. i really only started to be a major nerd in 2000 when i started to study for my A+ cert.

[gerror]

27.
About a year ago the barber asked me if he should remove the couple of grey hairs he saw. One of the most sad moments of my life :-(

[bbarnhart]

I don't have to worry about getting gray hairs. They tend to fall out before they turn gray.

[yzedf]

For all of a week now.

No gray hairs though! I know only because my girlfriend (23 yrs old) checked. She was rather disappointed. :)

[gerror]

[Rower_CPU]

24 here...

With over 800 answers to the poll, there's a pretty good picture being painted of the MR readership...

[evoluzione]

27 a month ago.

you lads out there with grey hair, i got my first grey hair when i was 16, and i didn't start shaving until i was about 20. go figure. still, apparently the grey hair (just a few specks) is sexy. works for me hah.

i just worked it out, i've been using a mac (on and off to begin with) since i was 9 or so. damn, that's a long time. i remember this game on my mum's mac at work, called 'copter i think. fun fun.

[scem0]

15, I turn 16 in April.

[Billicus]

I'm 16, but I'll be 17 in June, just like hitman.

[wdlove]

The wonders of youth, enjoy, its truly a great time of life. :)

[bousozoku]

[medea]

21, 22 in a few months.

[Catfish_Man]

17, and my gf has never said I act like a two year old (she has said I'm very silly though).

[mc68k]

i can't seem to view the poll without voting again (different machine than i voted on). i don't want to skew the distribution.

anyways,, it looks like the spread is pretty much set at this point.

[eric_n_dfw]

31 (and nothing cute to say about it)

[mymemory]

27 today and 28 next tuesday:D

Hey, a lot of birthdays next week.

I'm realising I'm gonna be 28 and I fell like I'll be 24 again, I'm not getting older inside, just a little boldness on the outside but with a very good shave I have a very sofisticated skin head futuristic look!

As Madona "I like to reinvent myself".

[sparkleytone]

I will be 22 on 2-27 although i have the uncanny ability to act like my shoe size. This being told to me by my 20 year old girlfriend:)

[shadowfax]

Well you're the majority of the minority. But nevertheless us mac users are still the cremé de la cremé of the general population. ;)

yes, i was emanating sarcasm ;). but seriously, there are all these really cool people i know, and now that i have a mac, somehow the subject turns up, and it happens that a bunch of them use macs too, lol. there are plenty of neato PC users, i have to confess, but mac users have them outnumbered!

[bentmywookie]

21 here, soon to be graduating and entering la real world. Been a mac user since I was 18 - my lombard was my (HS) graduation present and in a few months, I will regretably (or maybe not since I will hopefully get a new Mac) retire it.

Ol' bronze keys, we've shared some good times together!


(speaking of bronze keys - I think it would be cool if apple brought back the bronze keyboard with a cool orange backlight)

[MontanaMacster]

[iWantAMac]

[dreamlance]

I don't understand why people want to do it. :rolleyes:

[AllenPSU]
