    Glad to join in, I'm 59 and female.
    A possible name for the forum could be
    Sixties. It's an average age and most
    of us have recollections of that decade.

    or how about something simple like Renaissance?

    Dictionary defines this as a rebirth or revival - well, our generation is certainly experiencing a revival, being over 50 is the new black, innit ;)

    ...and we've all felt a new lease of life, felt 'reborn', since finding the internet, I'm sure :)

    Don't want anything called silver. I still have reddish blond hair with surprising few gray bits.
    I like New Horizons, did think of suggesting Swinging Sixties but we might get some unwanted requests!!

    Can I just explain that Skype just came into the particular conversation as there was a programme on BBC2 last night about it which featured some "older" people trying the new technology.

    The idea behind having an internet cafe in SS was sparked by a thread here also started last night ;)

    The intention is to vamp up the SS board in keeping with what users would like to see posted here.

    :D

    Cheers for clarifying that for me E-lass ...

    .... I'm a wannabe technophobe, that Skype thing made me quiver ...

    ... I actually thought it referred to an exercise programme on Sky TV and I abhor exercise of *any* kind!! At school, P.E. to me merely translated into Pure Evil!!!! :eek:

    Sorry for intruding, as a wee 21yo, I shouldn't even *be* in here :whistle:

    Just been looking at the Skype site - you can use it for conference calls, sadly max 5 people at the moment but who knows...

    How about Get Netted?
