Default 50 + (gulp) BB Users

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)

North Carolina

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?

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.

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.
