This may not be critical -- this group may influence purchase decisions,
but doesn't of itself account for a large share of computer purchases. 
Or not?  To answer the first question, it might be good to ask what age
group(s) will be using a machine, in addition to the age of the
respondent, and possibly whether or not the respondent makes the final
purchase decision -- or role in decision (make, authorize, advise,
none).

I like Roger's summation of this issue.
