Hi Lil. I am a proud 32. 8) In the peek of health and stronger, faster, and best of all more financially stable than I was in my twenties. LOL:lol:

[lilxkid24]

[mphenterprises]

Let me tell you...you are proving to some people that age does not matter. Believe me, you know more than some people twice your age.

Believe me, you know more than some people twice your age.well thats sort of true lol only like 2 of my friends know a lot about computer and the rest are like huh what is this. Some of my friends have no protection at all on there computers lol. I guess age doesn't matter in computers

[mphenterprises]

Not at all. If I knew at 14 what you know at 14, I would be in a completely different world. LOL I didn't start my computer pass until I was 25. I went to school and received my BA in Accounting and I have never used it.Keep up doing what you are doing.

Hi allI'm 23 and totally a noob =( I got this PC at the age of 18 :S The funny thing is that, actually I had a PC at the age of 14 or something like it, Windows 98 in a P II I think, but I didn't like the PCs in that time, I used like two times in a week, now I feel dumb for all that time losted =SRegards

23Ive had a computer for as long as I can remember I think I was about 5. Spent more and more time on it as I hit windows 3.1 and the internet.

I'm 31. I've had computers around since I was about 8 and my family got an Atari 800. lilxkid24 -- you will be the youngest around here at your age. You have to be 14 or older to participate in online message boards, per US federal law.

[AuroraDizon]

isn't there a way for younger people to send in signatures from there parents that allow them to access these forums? I know some of them have them.

[lilxkid24]

dang everyone here is like in there 20+ lol

[AuroraDizon]

nameless is 18 I think, and ykm is younger (again I think) lol

When I was 11 I picked up and Eniac module from the Honeywell surplus store in Minneapolis. It had vacuum tubes and discrete components. That was in 1961 so those with minimal math skills can figure the rest out. For those still in the dark, I'm "%&"

[mphenterprises]

[mphenterprises]

Some of your posts are on the playful side... can't really think of any right now but I would have never thought.Don't worry, it's a good thing. LOL

Aurora -- yes, the law provides that sites can choose to accept parental consent forms for people under 14. However, the consent acceptance procedure is difficult to maintain, and it is not required. Because it's not usually a problem, we don't process them. You must be at least 14 to participate in this forum.

I'm also 32... sometimes I feel so old on here but then I've been around computers since those Commodore 64 days. :)

Ah, all of ye youngsters. The summer between my Junior and Senior year in HS, I took a computer class at St. Thomas Universtiy in Houston where I grew up. We learned about programming languages - Fortran, Cobol, etc. We got to go over and actually see an IBM 1420 and the plugboards used to set up the proceedures. That was 1960!Went to College, flew in the Navy and later got my MBA in Accounting. Started using the original IBM PC in 1982, when we wanted to improve the efficiency of our Accounting Dept. The IT group wanted nothing to do with them, so Accounting got stuck with them. I learned a lot quickly. The big programs - Lotus 1-2-3 and Wordstar later replaced by Wordperfect.Once we started Networking, IT became like a 2 year old, wrapping their arms around the hated PC's and shouting "MINE!" Sometimes, when there is a problem, they send an intern in to fix something on my PC, and I have to tellthem what to do. Lilxkid knows more now than they do, and most of them are in College. But I think the key is in desire. If you are interested and want to know, anything is possible.At 64, I'm still looking for ways to broaden my knowledge. I enjoy this form and the interchange between the participants. Lilxkid - you may be the youngest, but you also give us something to hold on to. Your desire to get involved and learn while helping gives us about to pass the baton great hope for the future.
