Not sure whether we still have any active female posters [who would not confess to their real age anyway :-)

]. But how about you brave guys :-)

Seems like we've been there, done this once already (the last time you were bored?)

Sad I was in a different age bracket when I joined back in 2005

My sister has a wii machine which says I'm 19... I don't think it's very accurate

I'm in a different bracket since then :oops:

Maybe I should state I come from the far-away fantasy land of 1988 and be done with it.

I know there's more than one female member but the only one I can think of at the moment is techgrrl, but she hasn't been on since last May and she didn't renew her domain name, which was her real name (first and last). I think the reason I remember her is because she's ex-SGI. Has there ever been a poll to count how many members are current/ex SGI employees?

I'm 27, and I'm a little surprised by how many people are in my age bracket here.

Almost true. Back then I'd asked for the average age of our members [without poll], and we had a very lively discussion indeed [and no, I was not bored...although...]. In the meantime, we got quite a few new members and, therefore, the age-structure might have changed considerably...So this poll.

BTW, back then you didn't reveal your own age - unless you're an ageless yogi maybe you can classify yourself now :-)

I'm surprised that 3% are in my age bracket of under 20.

However, I'm not surprised that only 1 person is under 20.

Hah.

Yes.

But I don't have one.

I just joined because it looked lulzy enough to join without one.

Neither could I. I remember being a starving undergraduate reading in Wired about this new wonderbox called "Indy." Sounded like a computer I needed to have!

Yeah I was 19 when I joined, shortly after getting my first Octane off of Reputable Systems.
