I'm 57.  Started hacking on Apple 2s in 1983, which eventually led to a 
career change into CompSci.  Started collecting class computer hardware 
with a vengeance several years ago and got my first CoCo last September.

Of all the 8-bit classic lists and groups I've belonged to or followed, 
this community comes the closest to the Apple II folks in terms of 
activity and the variety of software and hardware hacking still being 
done.  So far, it's been a lot of fun!
