Grey hair is what you get for teaching 7th graders. Very distinguished, actually. Pat L.

Thanks Pat. The kids at school guess my age to be anywhere between 21-50 years of age! Twelve and thirteen-year-olds often have no concept of aging at all; if you are older than they, then you are just plain old... If they guess 21, I just let them think that I am until they figure out otherwise!

I have too many grays to just pluck out now.

Best, Noah

12-year-olds, or so, who are members of this Forvm and contribute their share, are not typical 7th graders, and I bet tj's guess is about right. Unless the gray is premature. Pat L.

Hi Tiberiusjulius,

If you didn't look at Noah's profile that is a good guess, he will be 37 this year. (I hope you don't mind me mentioning this Noah, but you did put your age in your profile).

This is my daughter Mina in the changing rooms at the Birmingham Rep, where she's in 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe'.

Nice guess! I just turned 36 in Dec. No video games for me though; I have two kids ages 1 and 2. The last system I owned was an ATARI 2600 back in the early/mid 80's! So, how is 7th grade treating you tiberiusjulius?

Best, Noah

Tiberiusjulius · « **Reply #212 on:** January 14, 2009, 08:52:18 am »

Hey that's o.k.,I am a sort of classic gamer myself,having the NES,SNES and the Nintendo 64. Did you have Warlords?
I have an Atari keychain that hooks up to your t.v. and plays Breakout,Warlords and Pong. 7th Grade is fine,although I doubt I will pass.....

Noah · « **Reply #213 on:** January 14, 2009, 05:54:23 pm »

I am sure you will do just fine...at least in history! In Kentucky we teach ancient and medieval history in 7th. As for the ATARI, I grew up in Brazil and my parents bought it for me in the US. I had about thirty games, but my favorite was River Raid. I did not have Warlords. Other games were Pitfall, Pacman, Asteroids, Moon Patrol, and the like. I do, however, remember back in the late 70's when we did have the original Pong!

Best, Noah

Looks like you have a talented daughter, Robert!
You and your wife must be terribly proud of her. Moreover she is very good looking, but I suppose that's thanks to you (and not your wife)

Enjoy her, because children are but a very short period part of your family and before you know they live elsewhere (like my own children

)

Just joking about the grades though,I am currently in advanced Math and Science and I am taking my first foreign language class, Spanish. Regarding Social Studies,I have only had one year of ancient/medieval history

,and the rest has been American history(BORING!). I will have to wait for 9th until I get back to ancient history. I am also taking PLTW this year.

Well, good for you! I have many students that do not have such motivation. As for your opinion of American History...I agree. Some is interesting, but it does not touch the appeal that ancient history has for me. Good luck to you.

Mina's looks have nothing to do with me (just as well for her!) since she's technically a stepdaughter. Not that we bother with that nonsense; it's the one that brings them up that counts.

Jay GT4 · « **Reply #218 on:** January 15, 2009, 08:51:32 pm »

You think American history is boring? I love history but try years of Canadian History! I couldn't wait 'till grade 11 when I could take American History. I wish more was known about Native North American history. That would be interesting.

Now as for Atari 2600...Pitfall was a great game but even before the Atari 2600 I had "Telstar" just a single box with two knobs on it. It came pre-loaded with tenis. Just two lines and a square ball!

What fun we had! I think our TV was only a 12" B & W.

Jochen · « **Reply #219 on:** January 15, 2009, 09:17:33 pm »

Yes, Pitfall was good. But Space Invaders was thrilling! The sound alone...

I had several pictures taken in my office at work - they all looked blurry except this one - maybe it's just me - blurry!!

If your talking about music,I'll have to nominate the megaman series(or the donkey kong country series or metroid) as the best,but looks like I am up against a tough Atari crowd.... my favorite form of music in Atari is in breakout if you get the ball on the top row.....
