Now this one really surprises me. What happened to the 26-30 and the 31-40 demographics?! When I worked in the pc industry (not all that long ago), that was the age spectrum that owned tech support, hardware R&D, and software development. Are the linux elect really that much different? Or are we seeing the beginnings of a generation of pc users so crippled by the use of microsloth products that they'll never be able to exercise true OS freedom? Nah... prolly not. prolly just too busy to do a poll.

Btw, I'm 36... in hex, that is. In 5 years I'll be 3B.

Nah, I think we are seeing the age of the gamer. Everyone wants an XBox or PS3 or something along those lines. Now that they are all but plug-n-play on the network people don't really need a reason to have a pc anymore.

True, but looking at the results so far on the number of people under 20... we still may start to see a new generation of youngsters take the reins of the technology industry.

I sure hope so.

There are some of us trying. (Of course, I'm 20, but I still think of myself as a lot younger... mainly because I always feel that way.)
There are at least a couple of really younger people here that completely blow me out of the water, not just by them knowing more than I (which isn't entirely hard), but by them knowing more than the "experts" I've known and grown up around. Perhaps the future isn't dead yet. ^,^
