Which age category do you fall in?

Why have we put everyone above 55 years in one group. I am over 81 and I suggest that over 55s should be broken down into 5 groups namely 55 to 60, 61 to 70, 71 to 85, 86 to 100 and > 100.

I think it is not at fair to lump all over 55 in one group.

Polls only allow for 10 options, and before it started I had no idea about how many age brackets I would find here. That was the reason for the poll in the first place.

I'm not sure you would find many users here > 100 - possible, but not probable.

May be we should keep this in mind for any future polls. All I am saying is that over 55s should not be treated as Also Rans

Mmm. I think you are being overly sensitive : no one is treating anyone as anything. As for also-rans, far from it....please read on.

The very reason I started the poll was because I suspected that the most active members here are older than I thought they may be (I'm 41 for the record). The poll was designed to test the myth that its the younger generation (lets say <25 for arguments sake) that grasp technology well (or better than the older generation). The poll has proved, with the current sampling, that the > 55's have as good, if not a better grasp, of Windows 7 and related technology. In my own personal experience here, I can confidently say that with only a few exceptions, its the > 55's that have taught me the most here. In fact, for me personally its given a new meaning to "respect for your elders". If you fall in that age bracket, then its a big plus for you :)

Thank you. I am touched.

PS: One of the reasons that there are fewer persons in 31 to 50 age brackets may be that they busy earning the bread for there families. The very young and over 55s have more time on there hands to keep fiddling with their Computers.

The plus 55 are still winning. I wonder why that is.
