Well, I couldn't resist. I am 33 years old (born 1970) and got my first
taste of computers when we bought a TI99 4/A in the early 80's. I spent
hours and hours typing in the games in Compute! during those golden ages.
We started using a TRS80 during my junior high school and later an Apple /
IBMPCin high school. I got so fasinated with computers that I started my
Comp Sci degree for both my masters and bachelors. I worked more in the
"wall street" type firms designing various trading systems for different
markets (FX, international banking, government bond trading, and now
Power/Energy market trading). Currently I design trading systems for the
Energy Markets (specifically for Power..). I got exposed to transputers
during my undergraduate days and have been hooked into it ever since....
Cheers,
Ram

I'm 29, though next year I'm expecting
difficulty in explaining to
people that I'm 2A. But I have almost 7 years to go before I hit 30.
Heh. When you have a form that asks for your birth year, I suppose you
put down 7AB (or 7AC, as the case may be)? :-)

Is somebody lying about their age ?

That's OK, I missed out being 29 and managed to be 30 twice. Seriously.
I lose track of numbers easily :-)

My sisters planned a birthday party for my mother once, and got all the
birthday paraphernalia (ballons etc.) marked "50". She was turning 49.
They say it was a mistake.

Wow! I don't know if I could take having TWO "over-the-hill" birthday
parties ;-)
Just one was a killer for me :-)

Ram
