Like others before me have said... "Seems to be threads for the younger folks, so how about one for us (more) mature folks!

55 yr old, new to BB but seasoned in technology (that "like a fine wine..." line keeps running through my mind)

Hello everyone!

I am part of the club too - 50 and my first BB ... But since I am a techno geekette, this isn't such a reach. I'm the only one at the publishing company that has one, and when the power goes down, there are more than a few that are jealous I am still am to get emails.

Besides, 50 is the new 40 - right?

[trucky]

shoot... ask me on a good day and I'll tell ya that 50 is the new 30.

Welcome BBKitten and the rest... geekette, lol, I like that one. How about geekarina?

Hah, we saw ya... not so easy to sneak out now. And... (shhhhhhh..) it really does get better after 50

[aoprods]

I agree, 50 isn't so bad. Now 60, that might be another story, lol. Guess my kids (boy 16 and girl 13) keep me young.

[trucky]

I haven't quite decided if my kids (13 & 14) keep me young or make me older... sometimes both at the same time. I have learned tho... DO NOT place your BB in the hands of a teenage boy. Recovery can be a tedious process.

[Gypsy]

Well, I know when I turn 50 in October, I want a big party with a giant cake, lots of tacky balloons and expensive gifts!

[trucky]

sheesh... just can't settle for the tacky, cheezy gifts to go along with the tacky balloons? And, what's this? no male strippers for the big five oh?? Ya only go round once

[Gypsy]

Okay, tacky, cheezy gifts .... but please, no tacky plastic pink flamingos on my front lawn!

[stevebtx12]

Just turned the big 51, but you're only as old as you feel (and I don't feel old ).

rock on!

[trucky]

Welcome Steve... got any pink flamingos?

[ubizmo]

54 here. I'm a recent convert to BB, after using a Sidekick for almost five years.

[aoprods]

Pink Flamingos, ha! I just purchased Guitar Hero III for my curve. For my kids of course, ;-)

[degilmo]

What? Who said 50? I'm 29 and holding... and have been for 21 years. It's nice... But I have to say that when I picked up my 8320 Curve last month I felt even more years peel right off! This BB and especially this awesome Crackberry site really keeps life interesting!

I came from the world of Palms, Treos and the Dash. I had no idea what the BB could do to make life that much sweeter!

[trucky]

Isn't it interesting to look back at the progression of handheld devices we've tinkered with over the years. I've had a small fleet of Palm thingies, each one promising to be the cat's meow, and then moved over to iPaqs, but was always wishing it would have a slick cellular integration and still do all the basic contacts, email, fun stuff. Each new cell phone packed in more goodies too, but they never quite hit the mark. I don't profess that the BB is the end run either, but I'm excited to see how it evolves. Now if the mind meld could produce a floating laser keyboard at will...

[trucky]

ohh... and... aoprods... of course Guitar Hero III is for your kids. What's your high score so far? And how the heck do you play your curve?

[aoprods]

Just downloaded the game this morning and haven't had time to try it out. Heck, I've never played the thing before but my kids have played on the xbox at friends. Oh yeah, I just bought a xbox 360 this past weekend. I love my racing and war games.

[Swanee]

51 this past February and this my first BB. Why did I wait so long?
