We have this one guy named Dick (Richard) who is 80 years old and refuses to retire. He's an SAP programmer who is an absolute fricking wizard. Makes everyone else looks like illiterate fricks. Boggles my mind every time I see him. He's too old to know as much computer shite as he does. It's just weird.

Yeah, my boss is almost 60 and knows 10x more about computers than I do. He programmed all our project management and database software.

Everyone else here... morons who can't burn a CD or download from dropbox.

It has less to do with age and more to do with a person interest in learning new things. MY go-to guy for computer issues I can't solve is almost 80. I never considered him unique, I know a ton of people over 60 and most used PCs in their work for the last 30 years.
