    Resolved Your Age

    Stemming off the thread about grandmas and grandpas... What is your age range?

    *EDIT*

    If you fall in between two categories (example 18 is 13-18 and 18-25, pick the larger group).

    Re: Your Age

    No, it wasn't that far back, but there WAS another poll several years ago. I seem to remember some discussion that showed that Martin Liss was older than most people on the forum, but was certainly not the oldest.

    I was just looking at his profile. If I remember, it says he was 72... That is up there. Perhaps I need to find that poll.

    The first group should be something like "UP TO 14", for those that have been born after the post race
    started.

    There were people born after the post race started? Is that possible?

    Not many can, as not many were around at the time. CyberSurfer showed up a couple years ago to marvel that the race was still being run, but aside from that...there are so few from those days. I certainly don't remember the beginning.

    You know your age ranges are off?
    13-18
    18-25
    25-30
    30-40
    40-50
    50-60
    60-70
    70-80
    80+

    What if someone is 18? do they vote 13-18? or 18-25?
    Should have run them like this:
    13-17
    18-25 <-- left this one alone because it's part of the mythical ultimate marketing target.
    26-29
    30-39
    40-49
    50-59
    60-69
    70-79
    80+

    Yes and thankfully so...

"Upon launch concepts encountered were deemed so backward that reality was stretched to the breaking point." "Localized time warps ensued destroying all technology within several miles radius."

    vbhex supporters also held a rally today outside Microsoft's Redmond office, placing the blame on Microsoft for not listening to them and releasing vbhex earlier.

    To be fair, neither did I at first. Plus I'm in between the boundaries, so it didn't affect my results.


    If you want... blame it on incomplete functional specs.
