20. Not sure this works. Been the gray hair with the tech kids around the Internet since just after Tim Lee migrated from the Arpanet. Been part of the epic battles with DoD over encryption and the clipper chip back in 1992-93

Can remember an early application discusion at the tire folks (circa 1994) of Bridgestone that went something like this...

"Denis! You cannot believe what I just got the computer to do. If a truck driver breaks down, I wrote a piece of code for the website that will show him where the nearest tyre dealer is to where he broke down."

Me, "Wow Bob, that's great! Umm he's broken down and sitting in his truck?"

"Uh-huh."

Remembering it is 1994, no sat nav (except military) "Umm Bob, how is he going to get online to retrieve this data from the web page?"

Dead silence...

My point, just because you can do something, should you?

I spent hours on that code!

I'm a 9 but I actually may only be a 6. Since I'm not sure that may make me a Generation Jones. Geez. My kids are in ...

Give yourself the 9, you are a saint and did not cheat ;-P

Generation Jones? What the heck is a gen Jones?

...

This is from the website listed in the original post:

However I get a lot of email from people at the later end of the baby boom who do not identify with baby boomers. To some extent researchers have dealt with this issue by categorizing the latter section of the baby boom separately, as Generation Jones (born between 1954 and 1965). This category will make some people feel better, but there still will be baby boomers who are indignant at being lumped with the delusional, self-centered, money-hungry baby boomers.

I ended up with a 6, and am also a Generation Jones.

Thank you for finally clearing that up for me! I was born in 1961. In one thing I read, that was the last year of the Baby Boom, and in another, it was the second year of GenX. On most things, I go with the Xers. But I still have a lot of Boomer friends. Sometimes I'm neither one. Xers can be too blase, and some Boomers seem awfully self-centered. It's funny too. Jones is my last name. The ads for TBD say over 40, but the actual site is most definitely Boomer. But that's... okay.
