How old is the typical Accy web user
 
came across this item on the BBC World news site , surprised me a bit since it says that over half of the new users of the web are over 50 yrs old , considering the web has been around in general use for the last 12 years I would have though most of these folks ,( late 30s/early 40s 12 years ago) would have been on-line long ago

BBC News - Two million more Britons come online in last 12 months

I hope no minds (site-owner or moderators) if I add a poll to find out the average age of Accy-web users .... are we just a bunch of old wrinklies and coffin dodgers or do we have any appeal/ attraction to the younger folks

Mentally or Physically?

I think if we had a poll for the mental age, of the typical Accy Web user, the findings would be somewhat lower.

:D

Well considering I've been a member for close on 5 years, I'm still learning how to use Accy Web to the full, Its only within the last few weeks (since Less mentioned it in a post) that I've started using the unread post tab, used to trawl through every section before:eek: and its only through Th goodness of mick and Mancie a while back, that I can now put links from newspapers and YouTube on here, but even now I haven't a clue how to add photos to an post, and yes I've read the instruction put on my Len and others. but if I say, want to reproduce a photo from a newspaper I end up with a link line and the whole sodding story with it to boot. Okay I know I am to computers as Bernard Manning was to hang gliding, but :swear8::swear8::swear8:give me strenth:bangh8::bangh8:

Got to agree G, I often think what I did before a got a computer, its especially Handy for the likes of myself who's mobility ain't what it used to be, at least I can keep in contact with the everyday things in the area, in a lot of cases even more than when I could get out and about

Had a mate who's ambition was to be shot in the back by a jealous husband, when he was 93.
Daft old beggar was working on a chimney at the age of 85, he dropped some tools into a gap between the chimney and another building, and when he came down the canal was blocking his access so he jumped in and swam round, must have swallowed some mucky water, he finished up in Blackburn Royal and died a few days later.
