For the last five years I always find myself surprised - not when this question is asked of me - but rather with my answer.
I am 65.
After I write that I think it is not possible.
Then I hear the voices of my children ages 45 & 41 reminding me..oh yes you are!

When I switched to a Mac , over a year ago, I told my oldest grandson now 15. He thought I was so 'cool' as he put it that his grandmother had a Mac. When I got him an I-pod touch he thought I was really really cool. So my new system for feeling young is to buy lots of Apple products and call him to come see them! So far its working, I feel about 18.

I'm 37 - which is a really nice age I think. But I have been quite fond of all my different ages :-)

But sometimes I envision my retirement - see the kid(s) turn into an amazing adult(s), sit and watch visual migration of birds for hours and hours and hours, go home, import photos into the computer, write some, read some. Rent a cheap cottage in Sulawesi and really get to know those strange colugos. What's on their mind, really? I could go on for hours... :-)

Max flash sync differs with different shutters, so you could be different ages depending on your shutter.

My guess is that you are 32 (which is also the sum of two prime numbers), but remember that aperture is really a ratio (or fraction), so you would more appropriately be 1/32 years old.

Okay, THAT surprises me! Based on our exchanges over the months we've crossed paths on 1x I had you pegged for late 30s. Isn't it funny how our written voices reveal our inner age rather than our outer, physical age? Here's hoping you stay young on the inside, Phyllis, whatever your exterior age!

Aha teenager, indeed! Not so many younger than myself, but you may be carrying the torch for the youngest regular contributor. Applaudable!

I got some numbers in this topic and I won 100 euros at the National Lottery called Lotto!!

Come on, tell the whole truth you won 70 million euros at superenalotto!

Anyway I was born in 1960: therefore most (nearly all) of what follows applies to me (and to quite a few people here, I guess):

We survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us.

They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing and didn't get tested for diabetes.

After that trauma, our baby cribs were covered with bright colored lead-based paints.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, knee pads, elbow pads, butt pads etc.

As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags.

Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special treat.

We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle.

We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and no one actually died from this.

We ate cupcakes, bread and butter and drank soda pop with sugar in it, but we weren't overweight because WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!

We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.

No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K.

We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.

We did not have Play stations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 99 channels on cable, no video tape movies, no surround sound, no cell phones, no personal computers, no internet or internet chat rooms..........WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!

We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents.

We made up games with sticks and tennis balls and ate worms and although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes, nor did the worms live in us forever.

We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them!

Cheerleaders and little league had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't, had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!

The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!

This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever! The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.

We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all!

Reminds me of an old sexist joke. A man was learning from his boss in Human Resources how to hire a secretary for an executive. The final list of candidates included three equally beautiful women.

The first candidate was ushered in. The boss introduced himself then asked a single question, "How much is one plus one?"
The candidate immediately answered, "Two!" The boss thanked her and asked her to wait outside.
"She seems nice," said the assistant.

When asked the same question, the second candidate answered, "Two...or eleven. It depends on how you look at it."
"She's pretty clever," said the assistant.

The third candidate, when asked "How much is one plus one?" thought for a moment, then replied, "The answer is probably two or eleven, but in the binary system, the answer would be three."

When the third candidate left the room, the assistant said to his boss, "They are all attractive and intelligent and that last woman was very impressive. Which one will you hire?"

The boss replied, "The one with the big breasts, of course."

Digital or analog age? ;) And in which multiverse?

A very young boy came skipping along a forest track. He came upon a very old man leaning against a very old tree. The very young boy stopped and with childish impudence asked the very old man how old he was. The very old man raised a hand and indicated a tender green leaf that had just opened on a twig of the very old tree. "How old is this tree?", he asked the boy in turn.
