GEE! I just found it. (this post)

Bob, You're the man, Nance You are one good Woman![:D][:D]

I still like the little fella in the 0-5 age group that could type as well as any of us![;)]

Glad to see that it really does'nt matter how old or young you are to have fun at something. It really does a body good to see all of the responses and how much fun can be had just chasing the ghost.[8D][;)][;)]

38 in a few months.

I like the saying: "We don't stop playing because we get old, we get old because we stop playing."

So, play on!

According to my calculations, here is the score (so far) in the

First Annual Norboy "Age Bowl"

OLD GUYS: 45
YOUNG 'UNs : 15



This has been a lot of fun so far, and its great to see so many teens getting involved. There may be hope for this hobby yet!

Special recognition has to go to NANCE69 for her love of this hobby and her computer savvy. [bow][tup] I know that there are alot more 70 somethings out there, but they may be like my dad (75) and have no clue about using a computer.

Last I know I was supposed to be in my early 20s. But when you wake up in a different time period every day. with no clue where you are. Or even who you are supposed to be. I lost track.

Finally, a poll I can answer.

Let's see, no birthday yet, so I guess that I am still 42 with lots more to learn and share.

I see norboy still hasn't replied yet.[:D]

I'm going to be 44 this year, that would make me 8 years retired by norboy.
Wish I was retired, then I might get some of my stuff finished !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Model rr is a challenge and lots of fun because of all the many different types of layouts that can be done, only limited by a person's imagination.

[bow] 70 & 82 years of age, respectively...wow. Bob and Nance, I salute you both. God Bless You and keep on enjoying the hobby![bow]

Interesting statistical spread. It seems to point to the fact that "younger" folks are more computer savvy or at least more comfortable/accustomed [to] using a computer.
