Anyone here over 60?

Autodidact · Jan 20, 2008

I'm writing a magazine article to tell seniors how wonderful internet message boards are for seniors to stay in touch with the world and community. Anyone here willing to be interviewed for a quote or two? The only expertise you need is to be over 60 and use a message board...er, such as this one. Thanks.

I'm 61 and use four writing boards, plus one social board. Need to know more, just ask.

Thanks to all who allowed me to interview them via PM. I have (small) quotes in my first draft with full names and locations. Do I need to get your explicit permission to use them, written or unwritten? Do you want to see it when I get it done?

Use whatever you like of my message and good luck.

I'll be 60 in July. Does that count?

61 this coming spring (how the hell did THAT happen?!), and I've been using message boards since the days of the Commodore 64 and a 300 baud modem (~25 years now). Delphi, Compuserve, AOL, newsgroups, and more.

Never had a modem for my Sinclair ZX-81.

You can find my email and other contact info. easily.
