edit: 18

A wide range of ages here, just like all the different nations we're coming from. Nice forum!

Author Update #2 @Puttabong 2008-01-30

naquaada, there's also an OSX version of cubase available, as it's Cross Platform (as far as I know)!

Field Note #1 @naquaada 2008-01-29

31 now, but 32 in march. Another Osx86 friend of mine is 56

Field Note #2 @Firewalk 2008-01-30

Hi, I am 32 or is it 33, probably the latter. I gave up on ageing years ago.

Field Note #3 @cgsheen 2008-01-30
[cite] naquaada:cgsheen: really?

Ya... Really.

(I'm mostly into Windows Vista and Home Theater Computers, but this is fun. My son really likes his Hackintosh and uses Garage Band daily. That's what started it all... He's created quite a bit of music (also adds live Guitar tracks, Bass tracks, even drums & vocals). Don't flame me, but I still prefer Vista. OSx86 is interesting though, and I've been an "AMD guy" for years and years (and years (and years)) ;.)

Field Note #4 @naquaada 2008-01-30

Hm, If want to use Cubase I also have to use Windows. That's why I wasn't working with Cubase since a long time...

Field Note #5 @naquaada 2008-01-30

I know, I already HAVE it, even a lincense key. But no license on it :>P
Otherwise it wouldn't be a good idea. A lot of the classic VST-instruments are still PPC and they're not running on the new Macs... That's why the PPC Macs are still so expensive.

Field Note #6 @naquaada 2008-01-30

Uh, I got my first PC - a PIII 500 - with 23... but I bought me an Amiga 4000T/060 some years ago, this was (and is) a hammer machine.

Imagine how crazy that is: In the 1980's home computers had 1 - 4 Mhz, in the early 1990's 7 - 25 MHz and after the Pentium everything exploded...
The average cpu clock is around 2.4 GHz todays, or it's more? AMD always needed less than Intel.

Field Note #7 @Xxp/TuX 2008-02-01

Oh my God...I am 23 years old...I saw this age thing coming, lol ...

Field Note #8 @braindead803 2008-02-04

im 19 years old turning 20 march 14. the worst years ever 19-20 because your almost 21 but u can't do the stuff of a 21 year olds likings (legally that is)

Field Note #9 @Anonymous 2008-02-05

Crawle, where are you from? any coding experience?

Field Note #10 @naquaada 2008-02-06

@ megaargon

I hope your age isn't like the number of Linux distributions!

Field Note #11 @megaargon1 2008-02-12

How should I know. I only crave for updates, that's all folks.

Field Note #12 @WinLinMac01 2008-03-19

What a diversity here! I have never seen that many teens before in my life. Imagine us 20 years from now, you got that right.
