You are overdue for a visit to your optometrist.

I'm 25 will be 26 March 8th. And yes I hate that I'm too old to get in for free and too young for discounts. xd

I thought there would have been more older people.

You gotta consider there are some that have posted on this thread and did not reveal their age. I'm guessing they would bring up the average.

Well, the MF150 and TO35 were inherited with the 80 acre plantation when Mom and Dad retired (they had real jobs but not college jobs like me). I bought the 953 Cat and JD5065E with funds made from my real job (accounting/financial analyst....ie not farming). With no wife/girlfriend/significant other and no kids, I can get away with spending more on toys.

I joke with my Dad that it takes one generation to buy the land, one generation to buy the equipment, the third generation might make a little money.


I'm impressed that there are so many "old" guys here that know how to work computers. My Dad will soon be 74 and my Mom just turned 70, and I'd bet they couldn't work a computer to save their life. No offense, but how did you guys learn since I assume you didn't grow up with them?

At 59 I am not the oldest guy on here, but as for computers, as soon as it became possible to own computers, I wanted one. One company I worked for, the boss had a Tandy, and we used to play with it after work. As soon as the TI-994a machines came on the market I bought one. As soon as I could afford a used IMB PC I bought one of those. I then started building PC's from parts to try to stay with a current machine. I have worked in telecom for decades, and soon after starting, Telephone systems went all electronic, so working and programming these devices was somewhat similar to working on computers. Some of us may be old, but some of us jumped onto the computer revolution as quickly as we could. Of course one of my hobbies was and is Amateur Radio, so I was always electronically oriented.

I bought my first computer in 1986 and haven't looked back. I built this one from scratch. i5intel, 16 gigs ram, 3 terra bites hd, 2 nivida 460 video cards and 850 watts power supply.

I turned 56 last august, and the first time I bought something online was a snowmobile jacket in 1992!
