I feel old because I used to program in a very old programming language called VB6 :D

I think others are using the latest versions of VB like VB.Net (2008, 2010, etc..). That's why they don't have that feeling...:p

I do use VB.Net and C# with VS 2008 and 2010 (beta) but I used VB6 in the past. But yeah I guess that a lot of the guys around my age started with .Net.

Seeing as I'm 25 (I turn 26 in 5 weeks) and I started with QBasic (I also learned Basic, AppleBasic and CommodorBasic) then I went to VB3 then VB6 then .Net 2003, I guess I'm not in the norm for "guys our age", especially if "guys our age" start with .Net

Really? THAT is your criteria? What if I mentioned I've worked with VB4.... and before that VB3? Heck, I remember there was a time BEFORE VB... back then it was just B. :P
I cut my teeth on Apple BASIC, before moving on to PC & GW BASIC... then came Pascal, Assembler, then I started tinkering with dBase II ... eventually I learned C, then in the Air Force I was exposed to Ada, more Assembler, and even COBOL.

May I know the specifications of your memory and the processor that you have in your head ? ;)
Really great knowledge... :thumb:

Re: I feel old at 29. =(

I started with QBasic and GW-Basic. There was a time, when we had to queue up for a computer, since each of us could not have a separate computer in school.

You got only 10 minutes and in that 10 minutes you had to finish writing your code.

Re: I feel old at 29. =(

I'm 31 currently and feel 61 - I suppose it depends on what work you do and how much stress you have!!! BTW, I'm almost complety grey, luckily not bald :D The greyness is in the genes. I am dead serious!

Being grey and so "young" isn't good especially when people 2 years younger than you calls you "UNCLE"!!

When I was a senior in high school I learned FORTRAN and a couple years later I did some programming on a TRS-80 in BASIC. I pretty much left programming alone until mid 2005 when I started to learn Visual Basic.NET 2003. That gives my age away to a certain degree. If someone asks me my age I don't tell them but I'm no teenager.

Re: I feel old at 29. =(

If you have VB6, try the below code:

Code:

Option Explicit Private Sub Command1_Click() '~~~ On clicking the button '~~~ Variables Dim strName As String Dim num As Long, i As Long Dim seed As Integer strName = "EntityX" '~~~ Name num = 0 For i = 1 To Len(strName) num = num + Asc(Mid(strName, 1, 1)) Next i Randomize seed = RandomInteger(8, 16) MsgBox "Your age is: " & CStr(num \ seed) '~~~~ Displaying age End Sub '~~~~ Function to generate Random Number Private Function RandomInteger(Lowerbound As Integer, Upperbound As Integer) As Integer RandomInteger = Int((Upperbound - Lowerbound + 1) * Rnd + Lowerbound) End Function

You will find EntityX's age ;)

Re: I feel old at 29. =(

I turned 50 last year and it didn't necessarily make me feel old but it made me aware that I'm almost certainly in the second half of my life and all that entails.

I just turned 30 years old, did not feel old but the time passed made me feel regretful.
