Hell, I’m 47, and last Summer it was upgrade time so I started with shiny new cases, liquid cooling units, video cards, processors et al, and built 4 computers from scratch, ran Cat5 (We’re gamers, wireless doesn’t cut it) seamlessly through the walls into 5 separate rooms, and had a full blown LAN party with a dedicated server going all before lunch. Technical savvy isn’t necessarily reserved for the young.
Oh, I know that’s true — plenty of people older than me at work who are true electronic experts (engineers and the like, whereas I’m just a savvy computer user mostly). And I’m glad to hear that the passion for gaming and custom builds doesn’t fade as time goes on!
