I've been curious over the years about how the average age of the community is changing with time. I'm sure it's not increasing at the rate of a year per year, but it probably isn't much lower. -michael ******** Note new website URL ******** NadaNet and AppleCrate II for Apple II parallel computing!

Interestingly, this same discussion crops up every once in awhile on the BMW 2002 group site. Although the number of cars decreases each year and the average age probably increases, there is a pretty core group that continues make parts available and sharing knowledge with the younger crowd. I see a great deal of similarity between the two. I think machines that defined a market will always be around in some capacity or another. Model T's are still around and running. I think the enthusiasm shown by many on c.s.a2 certainly points to a bright future - especially with all the new projects being discussed. I can't even keep up!
