I find now I can:
- play another computer game, we're spoiled for choice
- press the off button on the computer
- read a book
- watch a movie
- go to the gym for a swim
- play with my son
- go fishing and camping
- give my wife a break and take our son to one of his activities (and hang out with the yummy mummies)
- build a model plane
- play cricket
- go to the football
- and yes, even talk to the wife.
I'm not criticizing any forum members, just my two cents worth.
you funny guy! life starts at 40!

Sad part is the end date does not adjust in kind to account for the late start!

When I was a member of a glider club, there was a sign in the club house saying "Time spent soaring is not deducted from your lifetime".

I hope that is also true of flight sims, too.

Fond memories... I've played them all accept that "Battle of Britain" in the middle... Damn I'm old too

EDIT: Or rather - I'm "computer old", as with my 42 years I don't feel that old IRL - but as a computer gamer I feel like past 100
