MMD Subscriber Demographics Histogram
By Dave Miller

Well it looks like a few people liked the idea.  Here is an "ascii-graph" of the results so far.

 Histogram:

 Age     Quantity
 ---     --------
  6-10
 11-15
 16-20
 21-25
 26-30
 31-35   #
 36-40   ####
 41-45   #
 46-50   #
 51-55   ##
 56-60
 61-65
 66-70
 71-75
 76-80
 81-85
 86-90

 Data Points:    9
 Average Age:    43.2
 Median Age:     40
It will take a bit more time to come up with a utility to plot everyone's location.  However I will do that as I have time.

I also received a few good suggestions:

 - Specify your month and year of birth rather than your age.
   This will make it easier to keep the data accurate over time,
   as new subscribers are added.

 - For fun, you can include a guess of the group's average age.

For those who want to participate, send a mail message like the following to davem@vcd.hp.com:

11/61             (month and year of birth)
Camas, WA 98607   (City)
Guess: 48.2       (Your guess for the average)
Don't worry about the exact syntax, I read every message "by hand".
