Being a programmer I prefer base 16 (hexadecimal).  Next January I will
celebrate 40th birthday. <grin>

Without telling anyone, I switched to counting in 12s (Babylonian?) for

50, but I'm looking at 60 as the next big party.

That would make me extrememly young, or extremely old, depending on which
