    I had a Philco radio with vacuum tubes. The tubes had to warm up before the sound would come on. I'm only in my late 40's.

      Cool radio.

          Then I'm sure you have a phone with a rotary dial, too? Many people now have never seen one.

          What if firearms technology changed as fast as electronics does? Think of all those obsolete 10 year old guns. And don't even mention technology from 1911.

              If you look back at the cave writing that I sent you on May 3, 1111BC, you'll see that I mentioned the recipe for dirt. The seminar you presented on "Dirt Formation" wasn't until two weeks later. I am assured by my attorneys that "dirt, as we know it", is indeed, patented under my name....

                  That was almost too easy.
                  Since I'm on a roll, can I interest you in a game of high-stakes poker by mail? Or Blackjack.... or horseshoes... or darts...

                      Yeah, sorry. It's been a long week. Normally I'm a more worthy opponent.

                        I'm turning 29 in three days. Bought a PM9 in SS to replace my CCW guns (G26 and PF9).

                          I spotted a similar poll on SigForum.

                          The results are the number, percentages for the ranges they used

                          Results (377 votes counted so far):

                          Your age range?

                          24 (6%)18-26
                          66 (18%)27-35
                          97 (26%)36-45
                          81 (21%)46-55
                          109 (29%)55+

                              Yea, We're Like the Obe Whan Kenobei's of the gun world. Mostly though we're just old and glad to be here, of course for some of us we're glad to be anyplace where the worms aren't delivering the mail.
