This was just done two months ago. ;) http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=23060

But then . . . . . Some people are older today (happy birthday to me :( ). And there are new members. :D

Made me realize that next year I'm turning 30. Can't believe it. Feels like I'm still 14. Well, maybe not, at 14 I didn't like beer and I do now, so let's say 20 instead...

thanks everyone for taking part in this poll, I was just beginning to think everyone in here was still wet behind the ole floppy. I would really like to know who the >12 person was, How can you possibly run a company if you are still wearing diapers.

not everyone on these forums own hosting companies lol. You should of asked "How old are you web hosting business owners?"

pff, I am almost 30 myself, just yesterday I had a teleconference with a good high school friend of mine, we hadn't "seen" each other in over 6 years, but keep regular email contact .. he was very bold and old looking :D .. it made me feel like crap, and take a good look in the mirror :(

I feel sooo old. Couldn't you have have added a few extra age brackets so I wouldn't have to be in the oldest one :eek:

What really makes me feel bad is that all these young 'uns are so much smarter than I am :dunce:

Quite the mixed results on the poll. It'd be interesting to see who runs their own hosting or design business.

28

At least I didn't have to check the final option like 7 other creaky old fossils :D

The only time I really feel my age is when I see a wrestling ad (oddly enough). Apparently 'The Rock' is the same age as I am. He looks like an adult so I suppose I have to be as well (granted we certainly don't share the same physical attributes, that's for sure)

This poll certainly makes anyone over 30 look old, but i'm guessing there's gotta be a few senior citizens (or close to it) roaming around here! :D

Fortunately, i'm 21 so i've got a while before the pasture starts calling - of course, the gray hair's already started sneaking up on me. :uhh:

I have socks older than you...

I remember the birth of the computer that didn't require a datacenter with a raised floor and an army of engineers to keep it running.

I bought my first personal computer at a computer club meeting. It ran CP/M and was kit-built by the resident geek. He could crank them out at a rate of about one a month - full time.

I bought my second computer from Steve Jobs' mother... It had a hand soldered circuit board.

Yes, sometimes I feel old...
