    El Christo, man, the guy just asked for people's ages.

    Didn't you mention something in a recent post about people offering a bunch of crap that they DIDN'T ask for?

    Crackpot.

    I'll still add up everything from this thread and get the average, once everyone who wants to contribute does so. :)

    I was just supporting your decision to not create a poll with an example why......that's all

    That's what I'd gathered, I was just reiterating that if someone did want to, it was no skin off my nose and to go for it.:D

    51-next month, please remember to send me something.

    But I have some used parts were less old when I got upgraded, then a couple new synthetic pieces.

    So I'd say about 40 average, certainly the youger parts are from the waist down.

    btw, the average is just over 34, so far

    As a statistician, I gotta disagree... and the data supports this-
    the true average from neomagus00's xls spreadsheet is 34.13. A poll using 5 year breakdowns with the same data would give you 34.02. With enough sample size it really doesn't matter. Not that I care or anything... I'm just bored at work on a friday afternoon.

    Big bells were all the rage in Memphis when I was growing up. If you didn't where big bells, you were a nerd, spaz, preppy, etc. The bells got so big that one could go barefoot at school and noone knew.:D . It's hard to believe that they're back in style, along with the chicks wearing hip-huggers. I just wish the chicks wearing them were in shape.

    We share a b-day. I was born on March 30, 1981 -- the same day Reagan was shot.

    Aries rule! :D

    I forgot about that. Double R was Shot on our Birthday. That sucks! I liked old Ronnie. Well, at least he lived a lot longer after it happened. Anymore of us cool Aries out there?

    By the way Wodom1, I see that you are in Chi-Town,which is where I spent part of my life in a suburb called Maywood, IL.
    My old man just moved from there on the 4th of july holiday.
    He is glad to be in Memphis now, because of how bad Maywood had become. Is the area you live in still nice as it used to be? I didn't know anyone there, but we drove through a few times.

    Yep, will be in Mempho early, early Saturday the 30th thru Thursday the 4th. I'm bringing "tab10" my set of R30s, so he won't have to pay for shipping and taxes on a new pair. They're mint in the boxes with about 2-3 hours of play time. Just don't need them.

    I grew up in Thibodaux, LA (Southwest of New Orleans) and lived in LA until Octover 2003, when I moved here. I'm not sure where Maywood is and will have to check it out. Lincoln Park is still the place to be in Chicago if you can afford it. The rent/condo market is inflated but it is more than worth it to me. I love being able to walk 30' out of my apartment building onto Clark St. and have 50+ bars/restaurants within 100 yards of me. I'm hoping to buy a condo next year, but don't think I can afford to live in Lincoln Park -- I'll probably have to go a little further north. Two-bedrooms condos here start about $300k+.

    As far as Maywood goes, you are not missing much at all. It started getting bad back in the late 80s when I lived there.
