I'm an oldster, about the same age as Obama.  Healthwise, I feel just as good, if not better, than when I was in my 20's.  Most of my past health issues have been stress induced and were more imaginary than real.  I do have a lot of gray hair, as laetusatheos can attest to, but I knew I inherited that trait from both of my parents, so it doesn't bother me.

Younger people are generally more internet savvy, so on most forums I have been on, there have been mostly younger people.  I have been on the internet since 1987, predating web browsers; and since computers are my work and hobby, I have kept up with the technology.  Sadly, most people I know near my age and older are not so computer literate; they use email, and browse a little, but forums like this are a bit too advanced for them.

I fall in the "old geezers" group. 47 year old and celebrating this year my 32th anniversary of being an atheist.

I use e-mail and browse a little ...

... well when I'm not building ESX servers like I was last night :)

Me too BTW though I have to concede that I'm beginning to get bored of computers just for computing's sake.

And yeah, I thought the internet was for numpty's when it first came out! There's still a part of me that thinks it is.

I remember a number of people telling me my teen years and high school were "the best years of my life" and I thought, gosh, no wonder people commit suicide!

Wow. 15 people under 30 so far. 15 over 30. Pretty good sampling. Just another reason why this forum is great!  :banna:

I pass the 45 hump this year, in a slow slide to my 50s.  :-)  I'm very happy to see so many young atheists onboard here... to know that the youth is embracing rational thought is quite exciting.

Yer all a buncha young whippersnappers!

I'm 51, and I'm still relatively in one piece.  I have diabetes, numb feet, and I've put on a few extra pounds that I'm trying to take off, but it could be a lot worse, so I'm not complaining.

And I've been an atheist for 51 years!!!!  Go me!
