Thank You, Dear. I'm not a granny but old enough to qualify, and I just switched to Ubuntu 'cause SuSE just didn't work right. I'm a former Windows NT-era sysop who detests Microsoft, with just enough Unix (Solaris and Sun OS) experience to have done some C-shell scripting and a tad of VB Script in the .ASP days (which I have all forgotten). Many other slashdotters wish that me (specifically) and boomers (in general) would hurry up and croak. Thanks again for your patience and humanity. May your goodwill redound to you thrice over, someday...
I have a 35 year old sister-in-law that became a grandmother last year, so it really doesn't take much to be "old enough to qualify." :-)

In the early 1990s the situation was reversed. Local BBS operators usually gave women free accounts and only charged the men, because there were so few of us online. How did they know? The most involved sysops would call your house and talk to you before they opened your account.
...and running Windows.
Running windows is acceptable, as long as it's only begrudgingly and to play games.

The rules of the internet. Give arbitrary numbers. The fad started after the infamous "Rule #34" image macro started circulating.
A few choice ones:
#24: Pics or it never happened.
#26: Nobody knows the answer to "What is love?".
#29: Barrel Rolls can evade anything.
#32: There is a market for any kind of porn.
#34: There is porn of it, no exceptions.
#37: There are no girls on the internet.
#50: If you die in the game, you die for real.
#52: Developers, developers, developers, developers.
#54: Snape killed dumbledore.
#55: "Winner" is actually spelled "WinRar"
#65: You will be reported to AOL if you steal pictures.
#71: If you fap to it and acheive orgasm, you must tell everyone.
#72: Everything on eBaumsworld is stolen. No exceptions.
#73: Believe everything you read on the internet.
#75: There is always a female version of a male character. No exceptions.
#76: Duke Nukem Forever must never be released or the whole of the interent will collapse.
#78: It's been cracked and pirated. No exceptions.
#82: Upgrading someone's RAM is a sign of goodwill.
#87: If you would have sex with it, let everyone know.
God damn I spend too much time on 4chan.
