What is the average age of the typical Mac user?

[Signal-11]

I'm 42.

Really? From your pictures in the Post Your Picture thread, you look about 25.
Then again, I'm horrible with guessing people's ages.

42 is the answer to everything. See above.

That's nice. Do you want a cookie? Maybe a cake?

Hey, if you're going to do Sarcastic Young Punk, at least do it right. Offer to chew his food for him.

Most people guess me between 25 and 30. Take care of yourself. The human body has amazing powers of regeneration if taken care of properly. Wear sunscreen daily and exercise.

Nah- I really am 42.

Hah. Wait till you turn the big five-oh. All the regenerative powers and exercise in the world won't help with that tire around your waist (or the failing eyesight).

You will wake up in the morning and discover creaking bones you never new you had.

I'm eight.

I'm eight too. In dog years.

I saw this happen to my father. So I decided to get a head start so I wouldn't be so disappointed when I got there.

That's what people used to tell me about 40. I have had arthritis in both knees since I was 35. My eyes have been terrible since I was in second grade. I have a flat stomach and intend to keep it that way. There are plenty of people in their 50's who do- some of them on this forum. It's ridiculous to assert otherwise.

My mom is 55 and she's very slim. My dad is 56 and pretty fit too. Thank god I have their genes.

And you also don't live in America where fatty greasy fast food is at every turn.

We have the healthy and very yummy mediterranean food.

<- 35, my only regret is that it's taken me so long to switch to Mac.

But why? A little bulge helps balance the plate while watching TV from the recliner.

I'm not the type to sit around watching TV. I'm pretty active and have been most of my life. That's just how I like it. Plus, I'm single. It helps me get dates.

I am almost 50 and just bought my first Mac (MacBookPro 17). Just wondering why I waited so long.

 

[andrew upstairs]

I'm 35. I've been using Macs on and off since I went to college in 1992.

 

[Signal-11]

My mother is 57. She got her first MacBook last week.

She's still at the stage where she calls people to tell them she got their email.

 

[SkyBell]

You sound older from your posts.

Well thank you. I try to be a little more "adult"" then some people my age.

The problem with a poll in this situation is that it wouldn't make a difference; only MR members would answer, still not giving a good representation of the average age of a Mac user.

The world may never know.

 

[Marcus263]

If anyone feels a little "funny" about being older, there is really no need. You can't go on a single forum without having members of all ages. After all, interests are interest - we're all interested about Macs. This isn't a dating forum....
