Age poll

[12yearoldnoob]

Age poll i want to see who else is my age I am 12 :D

[bigandy]

I'm 17, but to tell you the truth, the age really has no bearing on what type of contributions a person can make to this forum. As long as the person has the interest in computing, and is willing to learn and to help others, that's really all that is needed. If somebody gives good advice, I don't care how old they are.

I agree Its just that it looks like im the youngest one here...

[Confused]

I'm so much older than your last age listed it isn't worth voting.

Yep, I have shoes that are older than 12.

[kev_nufc]

I'm 15 but I am happy that there are a lot of different ages here as the older members usually have more experience and can help out with the most confusing problems and the younger are giving advice and are usually in the same position as you and it is interesting to hear their views on certain things.

[mikeL]

Take the oldest age in the poll, and double it, then subtract 10. :)

[diver203_98]

Close to you mikeL, Double the oldest and subtract 8.

[Markoman01027]

I will be 20 in 9 months

[|/|/1CK3D1337]

Yeah, I'm 13 but turning 14 in September.

[Pernundel]

I'm 2 Days older than dirt. :o

[DravenX]

I'm 20, turning 21 Christmas Eve.

[Joeberg]

If it matters, I'm 16...

[TpGun2424]

I'm 14 turning 15 October 26. I'm so near my permit I'm so excited.

[RJ]

I am 22. . but in 3 weeks I'm gonna turn 23. First I wanted to wait these 3 weeks so I can vote for "23-25".. but then I thought, well, the poll is now, so I vote now :cool:

RJ

[Spartan]

Well I am 33 but like bigandy said age alone isn't the telling factor on knowledge. There are alot here who are much younger that know much more than I do. The one thing age does do is generally round out a person's life experiences and put a different perspective on them.

[raftero]

i dont feel old till i see these polls, i'm 71 but have only ben into computers about 3yrs so many of you young whippersnappers know a lot more than me. i'm just glad you are willing to share that knowledge.

[Strider]

I'll be 40 on Aug 28. I think you poll should have spread out the ages a little bit more to better represent the ages of people here a little bit better.

[shazam]

73 and stil runnig

[HAL9000]

35... 36 on Aug 16th.

[Hi Ho]

I'm 17... 18 on May 27th 05 :)

[Kubie]

Take the oldest age listed, double it and add 8. :o

Carl

ps.....young or old, your help is invaluable.

[colecifer]

i'm 15 at the moment. I agree that age doesn't really matter in this forum. Although i will say this a lot of teenagers especially younger ones are some of the worst kids. I don't know why they just seem to think they are better than everyone else. however i don't see any of thoose people at this forum, but at others. Everybody here at pcmech are very nice. And i'm not bad mouthing teenagers as I am one, however with the people i run into it seems that most of the time annoying on purpouse/mean people are teens.

[jibby06]

i just turned 16 on july 5th so i can drive all alone now...ahh watch out michigan! haha i'm just kidding, but yes i am 16. anyways, yes age doesn't matter, but it's kinda cool knowing how old people are who you are asking questions from.

[icallmedan]

35... 36 on Aug 16th.

Cool, I turn 16 on August 14th! Only two days a part. We should have a big online get together on teh 15th! LOL!

[ja83]

I voted 20, but I'll be 21 on August 23rd.

[RJ]

35... 36 on Aug 16th.
Cool, I turn 16 on August 14th! Only two days a part. We should have a big online get together on teh 15th! LOL!

Or the 17th. . coz I turn 23 August 18th. . . that's 2 days apart from HAL's as well :D

Hmm, I wonder what part of the year most of us have their birthday. . .

RJ

[dragonxx4]

Im 21, but turn 22 August 4th. Seems to be alot of august b-days.

[imbest123]

I am 17 and turning 18 when im in college >_<

[GaryRouth]

I'm at the half-century mark: thankful for every day . . .

[j4ck]

Its funny how the ages are intricately bracketed up to the age of 26...as if life ends there....
:)

Ages:
12...17...21...dead

[bailey]

heck, I am so old that it is off the scale

[Panama Red]

Heck, I'm like bailey - off the scale! I have shoes that are older than the highest poll category. I think a better poll would be "How many threads has 12yearoldnoob posted in besides the ones he starts himself?" Wouldn't need many options. ;) :rolleyes:

[VideoQuasar]

46 going on 12..lol...see my game controller enquiry help thread!

I didn't realise there was so many really young folk here! (and smart)

[ric449]

16 year old here... never knew there was so many people around the same age as me on this forum.

[Hi Ho]

didn't realise there was so many really young folk here!
Heck I didn't know there were so many old folks around here. :)

[Tin]

im 23....turning 24 August 17th, right in between HAL and RJ :D.

[Cricket]

I'm 46, but why would that matter?

:) Cricket

[ric449]

46? How old is the pic in the member gallery? If it's recent, you are looking good for your age Cricket :D.

[dave1rr]

And yet another 46 year old! :p

[TpGun2424]

Us young folk will be lucky, or unlucky depending on how you feel, to be as old as some of you guys.

[Cricket]

46? How old is the pic in the member gallery? If it's recent, you are looking good for your age Cricket :D.That pic is about 5 years old and I still look like that...but with less hair of course :D.

[TennBikeBerk]

I'm turning 15 on August 9th.

[WhatsThisBoxFor?]

I just turned 14 on July the 8th, August seems to be very popular, at my school July is very popular, and there were 9/26 people in my class with a July birthday.

[mattg2k4]

18 as of this past June.

It's amazing how time flies. It seems like just recently when I was 16 and getting my license, or 14 and starting high school.

[Spartan]

Good Lord people! We have a record holder here!

Take the oldest age listed, double it and add 8.

154 years old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[Redfallon]

23 turning 24 aug 21.....living in Tin's shadow eternally I guess ;) There's so many august birthdays because there's nothing else to do during the cold winter months :)

[Tin]

There's so many august birthdays because there's nothing else to do during the cold winter months :)
hahahahahahaha aint that the truth.

[icallmedan]

There are a lot of August birthdays... mine, Hal, Tin, Redfallon, and they are all within a week of each other. I guess if you have an august birthday you are destined to work with computers! LOL!

[Punked Out Comp]

13 but will be 14 in November.
I think its great how there are ppl ranging from 12-80 or something like that and they all treat each other like equals and theyre all nice. The older ppl dont say to the younger ppl "your just a kid, you dont know anything" and the younger ppl dont say to the older ppl "your to old to work with computers, shut up."

[nocturnx]

22 here, one of the few it looks like. High school seems like ages ago, I barely remember it. Most likely because of all this partying in college tho........

[DPJ]

58 almost old

[Nuclear Krusader]

I'm old, and the more I live, the more I realize how ignorant I am.

[bigandy]

Then I guess you can change your IRC nick to old&dumb eh Nuke ;).

[Mac Medic]

I love the way the poll stops at 26, goes to show a 12 year olds perception of old. I'm 34 btw

[Propain]

[Panama Red]

Does Canadian experience count as 28% less than US experience or is that just the money?! ;) :D :eek:

[wolfie]

Body- 47
Mind- 18
;)

[Redfallon]

no doubt :) Although I must admit the couple times I've been up to canada they were alot nicer than the people down here. At least until I got WAY up north.

[homer15]

take the oldest age, triple it, take away 8, then take... jeez, this is complicated. i'm 21. in october i'll be 22.

[Punked Out Comp]

LOL thats just him, I was actually thinking of making a poll like this and I would have stopped at like 70+

[Mr N8]

Still young enough to do really stupid things...24.

[Cricket]

take the oldest age, triple it, take away 8, then take... jeez, this is complicated. i'm 21. in october i'll be 22.Wow, already? I still remember a thread years ago where you said you were only 15. I'm still surprised that you're married already.

[B.Alex]

Good luck with middle school 8raker. I absolutely hated it, glad im outta there lol. Anways im 13, turning 14 on august 24, and i am definately NOT smart with computers, lol.

If you want to learn about computers, just read the PCMECH tutorials that PCMECH has here, and just observe the kind of problems people are having and some solutions on how to fix them. Reading a lot about computers will give you a great deal of knowledge. That is only knowledge; the best thing on how to know about computers is actual hands on experience. You can get that by building computers for other people, getting internships, or going to school for that. That is how you learn about computers; atleast that's how I learned about them. Once you do something with your hands, it's really tough to forget it; it's easy to forget something you tried to memorize in your head.

[8raker]

Thanks B, oh and marko, the reason i said duke, was because that was the thing that got me interested in the computer. 12, we are kinda alike, yep I remember Mortal Combat :)

[kstatefan40]

14 here, turning 15 on March 6. I make old people feel old :)

As stated above though, young or old, we all appreciate the help that any member is willing to give and I will not complain if you are 5 or 95, might joke around a little, but its nothing more than a joke.

[B.Alex]

Thanks for the advice markoman. I've been looking at these forums many times each day, and I'm learning a lot about computers. I'm building a computer right now, and this forum's been an awesome source of information. Hopefully I'll be getting that hands-on experience you mentioned in the near future.

[Markoman01027]

in my opinion, this place is the best to learn about computers. To be honest, I have learned almost everything here about computers by just viewing posts and talking to the knowledgeable guys through IRC.

I could not ask for a better place.

I agree. Between here and IRC, it doesn get much more helpful.

[Cricket]

Hey cricket, I got a long way to get near you:)A long way to get near me? I guess so since I live in Hawaii.

Or are you talking about age? You'll never get close to me since we'll always be 35 years apart.

:) Cricket

[homer15]

Wow, already? I still remember a thread years ago where you said you were only 15. I'm still surprised that you're married already.

haha, i think that thread was actually about where the 15 in my name came from... i think i was like 17 or 18 when i signed up here.

[Punked Out Comp]

Gee, looks like I was 41 when I joined PC Mech.

[raftero]

reading these polls makes me think about how things have changed, when my dad was the age of many of these young folks he had not even ridden in a car , when i was their age we didn't have electricity, there was an explosion of new things in the last 100 years that we consider ordinary even essential now.

Right you are! When I was a kid listening to the "old folks" talk about things in their youth I was amazed. Now, looking back at my own early days, I'm amazed at the technological advancements I've been able to witness. The first TV I saw, then the first color TV, the first plastic stuff, the realization that only 45 years before my birth the Wright brothers flew for the first time, then shortly after my 21st birthday a man was walking on the moon! To get a real life persepective of days gone by, visit Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia. Or visit Lookout Point above Knoxville, Tenn. and looking at all the mountains think what it must have been like to fight a great war (the Civil War) with only horses and wagons!

[inflames988]

Im 16...but ive been at pcmech since i was your age

[MrAustin]

22 Here. 23 in February.

[scomac]

I'm in the 26+ group. I will be celebrating my 35th birthday in November. I've been into computers for a while, got my first 'real' computer when I was in college. It was an old Leading tech 386sx25 with a whole 4 megs of RAM and a 20 meg (yes that is right and NOT a typographical error) hard-drive. After about 8 years of being behind without a computer, I broke down and bought the HP.

It's been interesting to say the least how things have changed since I was in school and how much technology has become an integral part in the schools. For my 2nd and 1st grader, had to buy them each a set of computer headphones for their back to school needs. Don't remember ever having that on any of my back-to-school lists. LOL
