boomers? The baby boom generation was born between the mid-1940s and 1960s. They're all in their late 60s and 70s now and most have long retired. The age-out demography we are talking about now generally are their children currently in their early-40s to early 50s. The dial-up generation.

fair enough, don't know why I lump all the "olds" together like that. There has to be a better name for them than the dial-up generation. I grew up with dial-up and I'm not that old.

Gen X, while I'm not fond of it, is usually the term here. Grew up with Commodore 64, saw the birth of the web and built it up, now considered too expensive, etc.
