How old are people here, really?

All the time, I've thought there were lots of grownups here, but here I am, 21 years old and still can remember well how it was when I was a child and had to do other things than using a computer we first got when I was 11.

I played outside. A lot. I played Nintendo. I used my bicycle. I watched TV(not much of that anymore!). I went to town to buy some ice cream and a Smurf CD or whatever was the fad at the time. I had a pretty good life actually. But I loved computers even then. My parents found out it was time to buy ourselves a computer when some friends of my parents' came to visit with their children, and I radiant with joy said "Oh yes! Then I can show them my computer magazines!".
