I've been lurking in the forums for awhile and just recently registered! A little about me I suppose. I'm an Apple fan with a slight interest in 3D animation and currently (trying to) finish up my senior year in high school... ugh. But anyway, that brings me to my question, just how old is everybody in this geeky community? Just curious, that's all. IP: Logged |

I was assigned this poem in High School, over twenty years ago, and I never forgot it. I couldn't find it online with a Google Search, and I don't remember who wrote it so no credit is assigned. Why I think Odgen Nash, I don't know. The Nine Ages of Man. Not old enough to know better. I am somewhere between Old enough and Old. I'm not entirely sure. IP: Logged |

Hi and welcome. How old? Hmmm, that poem makes me think, of a country hit, titled 'Old enough to know better, but still too young to care.' Ah, country music, you can't beat it. IP: Logged |

Welcome! I'm pretty sure I'm "old enough to know better" but since i'm not certain I might be on my way to "not old enough to know" (is there a cut off, or do I make it up as I go along?) ------------------ IP: Logged |

I'll be the first to give you a real answer. I am 23 and studying for a PhD in chemistry. I should get around to introducing myself, but I can't convince myself that I'm that interesing. Mind you I suppose I did that above. Hope I haven't hijacked your thread IP: Logged |

From the archives of my juvenalia I find the line "Older than I look but younger than I have been mistook." But I kind of like "Old enough to be able to afford my toys and young enough to still buy the ones I can't really afford." IP: Logged |

quote: This reminds me that, when I was a little boy (more years ago than I care to remember), my grandmother, when I asked what her age was, said, "As old as my tongue and a little older than my teeth". (I was too young at the time to realize this is not a good question to ask women.) I guess everyone old enough to have teeth is as old as that, though, so the statement is completely true and completely useless. Regards, Michael. IP: Logged |

Well, if you were to go by a certain rebellious saying from the 60's, I can't be trusted. But I think it's a Buffett song that says "grow old, not up." (tho I'm not a parrothead by any stretch and could be fouling that up). Cheers, and welcome! ------------------ IP: Logged |

Hi Ascot.
quote: I'll admit it. When I was in my 30's I was a proto TTB, but the techno we talked about then was transistors, and geeks meant pencil-necked geeks. Now I'm 61, which I think makes me the absolute oldest here. And TechnoGram means TTGramma-wannabe. IP: Logged |

Hm, my age... Tricky question. I'm normally the youngest one around, in my class for example, but I'm pleased to say I'm not the youngest one here. To be totally honest, I'm 20. Well, 21 in two months time. And I won't get a valentines card this year either. Same old, same old. IP: Logged |

Welcome! As for my age, I like to think of myself as 4 ... that's because I don't want to grow up so I've gotten into the habbit of adding the digits of my age together. ------------------ IP: Logged |
