It would be interesting to see the age profile of forum members so please take part in the poll. For comparison purposes you can see a similar poll on the Ubuntu forum at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=547697

42. Old enough that I start feeling the first physical limitations.
When I try to grab something behind me, and turn around too fast, my shoulders get in terrible pain.

On the other hand, I got calmer in general. Things do not make me as quickly angry as they did 15 years ago 8)

Haha, I did not know it was needed. I thought the poll was sufficient. I'm 19.

I'm 75. Who's the other decrepit one who took the poll? Somehow I thought most Linux whackos were under the U.S drinking age.

Son, always make sure she's in front of you before you grab for her.

When I was 15yr old my waist was 32" now at 38 my waste is 34", but I'm somewhat tall 6'2" so I look slim. but I was 80kg back then and today still 80kg. I bet when I turn 40 thats when it will kick in and I wish it didn't lol

I am 72 and have enjoyed very good health all my life.

I was diagnosed with diabetes about about 5 years ago, but it hasn't affected my life too much. Just careful of my diet and take tons of pills. lol
