Re: OT: How old are you ?
My first computer was an Atari 800 in 1981. My neighbor got an Apple II+ around 1980. I spent a lot of time over there playing Lunar Lander and the Adventure text games. I still remember my neighbor's dad getting the first Lisa and then the first Mac as soon as they hit the stores.

That's because turn-based strategy games tend to be marketed to us "old" people. |

Re: OT: How old are you ?
Mac hit it on the head. There are alot of people here that are in the prime of their lives. But when you get to know them they are just as young at heart as the rest of us.

Twice your age I am, yes. Do I look so old to young eyes? When 28 years you reach, look as good you will not, hmm?
Sorry, I had to do that. The force was just with me, I suppose. |

Old enough to have a 21 year old daughter...
