No, but there are plenty of 35 year olds who have kids that want to play (Lego Star Wars etc sell well enough, and even up to Halo).

My eldest loves killing all the brutes while I'm still trying to figure out where they are... "It's OK Dad I'll let you kill the next one"

Also there are some wives/girlfriends who sometimes play.

There's the classic argument, "how can you not like the Beatles when every band in the world was influenced by them".

You don't have to like anything, you don't have to like Wagner, you don't have to like Mozart, but they had an influence.

Following your argument to it's logical conclusion nobody could dislike anything because in some weird 'degrees of Kevin Bacon' way it must have influenced something you do like.

In general I am the same, except I'm there when the kids are on the internet,

I don't need any filter other than my eyes and l33t g00gle sk1llz (... search solo and bookmark for them).

I've often wondered how you learn to trust web filters anyway, the only ones I've ever experienced have just always annoyed me.

I 532nd zebra.

Zebra's work on anything, you can copy raw ascii (or UTF-8) data to an LPT port if you want. I've had Unicode labels coming out of an zebra connected to an iSeries (the zebra had its own network card and just connected via a TCP port), which may not sound like much but that's because you've never tried to do this crap in RPG...
