Plus, it's interesting to know. :) Has age got something to do with interest in games, or is this particular game age-restricted? Maybe this is explained in web page you mentioned, but I can't read bright white and yellow on black. (Does that give you some clue to the next question?) > As a quick check, how many people here are between the ages of 16-20, > 20-25, or 25+? What you're asking is, out of freebsd-chat readers (a very small group of FreeBSD users, possibly older than on our other lists but not necessarily), what are the ages of those list members who are both willing to reveal their ages and also think it is worth answering. > Nick (who just fits into the 16-20 age bracket) Tell me, why is it that people in this age group are so obsessed with other people's ages? I never see older people take much interest in ages, but teenagers can't relax until they know. Meeting strangers on the Internet must must be awfully uncomfortable for you. Anyway, you don't have an age bracket for me that I could point to without being misleading :-) Is it still OK if I play games? -- Regards, -*Sue*- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
