wish i'd found this sooner. read thru and it looks like fun so here goes.
age = 33 &1/2 (or so)
sex = m
experience = learning, let me explain, about 4 years ago i finally decided what i want to be when i grow up, so i started classes at the local cc. i hadn't been in school in a doz. years so i talked to the instructors to find out what to brush up on. their first ? was can you use a computer? i said i don't even own 1. they said you'll probably fail this course. so i bought a box sat down and began to learn. that was windows 98. today i'm running slack and happy about it. just recently i introduced that instructor to mandrake 9.1. we became fast friends during my college days. he's giving it a go, and the college is actually teaching some linux classes. i'm going to volunteer to teach some when i know enough. (wow, that was a mouthful.)

marital status = happily married to the (imo) most wonderful woman in the world.
occupation = architectural detailer/local computer guy ( i get the tough ? like my mouse won't move..ha!)
that about sums it up. bet you guys are glad i finished ha!

if that was for me i couldn't agree w/you more. my only regret is that i didn't find this wonderful land of learning 10 or 15 years ago. i might even know as much as someone like trickykid a well respected moderator here, ...doubtful though. haha

At the time I posted this.
Would that be 25 years of age? Well something close to that anyway. It was actually 25.66196236 years. Youngster, youngon.

That would make me 1,148,256,000. God I feel old.

Later
