Sure, why not? Computer science is still a relatively new area, particurly in the form that it is today. Students are on even ground with working adults, with perhaps even an edge (free time to spare). So many of the amazingly popular and powerful software out today was written by people close to my age. I have no doubt at all that many of the members of compsci.ca (if they had motivation and worked together) could design something noteworthy.

EDIT: I just realized, Linus Torvalds was 19 when he entered the University of Helsinki...

Now Adrian, whats the normal age for entering university? I think its around that. Besides, age of entry to university has nothing to do with intelligence. Mom was 17 upon entering UofCT.

Yes, I know that's the normal age =P I was just reffering to the fact that Linus wrote the Linux kernel during his stay at Helsinki university. Therefore, he was ALSO around 19 when the foundation for the software that would shake the world started building itself.
