| 160730 | 2003-07-18 04:17:00 | Opsimathy Education or learning late in life, an Opsimath . Being an Opsimath does not automatically imply that you are in or approaching your dotage of course, in fact it rather indicates the opposite . PF1 has its quota of confirmed Opsimaths, senior members who embrace new technology with unbridled enthusiasm . Muses, I wonder how many of the opsimathic persuasion could give the younger generations a run for their money?:| Cheers Billy 8-{) :D [pre][b]Mrs T reckons I am fast approaching opsimathdom:O Trouble is, I don't know if she is figuring that on age, pursuit of learning, or increasing hair loss . |

| 160731 | 2003-07-18 06:05:00 | That sounds like a bit of me . The only problem is that what I learn today, I forget tomorrow and by next week I have forgotten that I even learnt it last week . :D :D > [pre][b]Mrs T reckons I am fast approaching > opsimathdom:O > Trouble is, I don't know if she is figuring that on > age, pursuit of learning, or increasing hair loss . Maybe on all three perhaps? ;\ Cheers . :) |

| 160732 | 2003-07-18 06:15:00 | now thats a good one BT..... dont think ive got that far yet? and at what approximate age does this opsimathy thing kick in Billy T ? and will it be at jetsream pace cos i could do with some of that? or will it just slow us down more and we need to check our seetings? :p and youre never to old to learn, im presuming the only time you stop learning as such is when we are dead and deserve the break dont ya think? ?:| well done, must put this in my words to use list for uni, but they probably already know this. and as to regards to age and what exLL said - " That sounds like a bit of me. The only problem is that what I learn today, I forget tomorrow and by next week I have forgotten that I even learnt it last week. " it seems that happens at all ages......... and beetles are prone to it, it seems..... LOL :D beetle |

| 160737 | 2003-07-18 10:17:00 | For most of my life I was a Luddite, but then I bought a computer a couple of years ago. I much prefer Opsimath to " old bugger trying hard to keep up"! | Shortstop (632) | ||
| 160738 | 2003-07-18 12:18:00 | I reakon it has an optimistic ring about it, a good word for Friday with the weekend (work for some) to look forward to . I started latish 30's, not really opsimathic territory but I've moved on a little since then and the learning curve doesn't get any shallower . Mrs T reckons I am fast approaching opsimathdom Trouble is, I don't know if she is figuring that on age, pursuit of learning, or increasing hair loss . I don't seem to be moulting yet, but the financial controller reakons she detected a juvenile shiny spot on the back of my cranium, where I can't see it of course . Now dad definitely fits the criteria . He turns 80 in a week and got his first comp about 2 yrs ago, we're (the kid's) are getting him an LCD monitor so he can read text more easily and get some desk back (which is why I am so interested in dead and stuck pixels Billy) .
