Seems there's been a few personal 'polls' lately ... (long hair, etc.) ... sooo.... I would be interested to know what the average age of the people hangin' in the lounge is! Me first - just finished uni, @ 20 :-O. Most of our dev team is within a few years of this. NB ;P

.. hey Chris, you should have the DoB's of everyone who registered. Just what is the average age? Thanks. ATL Student :rolleyes:
BTW, there seems to be a bug on the profile settings page. The requested format for DoB is dd/mm/yyyy, so I enter it, but whenever I reload that page, the format of my date has changed to mm/dd/yyyy. Chris? :confused: Regards, Thomas

But you could probably write a program to calculate it - right?? ;) Steve Maier, MCSD

I tried to do that a couple of years ago, but it required too much data entry to be practical. I tried getting one of those artificial intelligence programs to help me, and the ony output I got was "I think it's best that you stick to approximating your age."

Ta. I've heard that life begins at 40, but there's been no noticable difference so far. :-)

47, and didn't write a professional line of code until I was 33. I thought programming would be a good job to have when I got too old to do real work, but you young guys are starting to scare me!:eek:

28 years old. I started programming when I was 10 years old, I bought a book on BASIC programming at Radio Shack and wrote out programs in long hand on paper. When I showed my parents, they knew they had to get me a computer and soon I had a shiny new TRS-80 Color Computer with 16k RAM. Was anyone else a CoCo user? Chris Hafey

We had a Trash-80 in the house for a while too. But I learned programming on a Vic20 and C64. Did basic there then straight to machine code (no assembler :( ). Then selftaught C/C++ on the C64, when to a C128, and finally a DOS PC. Steve Maier, MCSD

Congratulations ! BTW, what computer did you start from? Abacus like me? Regards, Gennady

I saved lots of pocket money for my 1200/1200 modem - £120! Next came my £300 40Mb harddisk!
Im 41 but admit to 32 in smoky bars after 1 a.m. I remember entering the bootstrap on the old PDP7 with the accumulator switches on the front because the bloody paper tape reader never worked Dave Carkeet, Santiago, Chile
