After seeing the first page of this thread, I was feeling pretty friggin old. The second page made me feel better. :-)

I'm 35. Strangely enough, I used to be even younger. This is definitely the oldest I have ever been. ;-)

What would you expect from us youngins? We are a product of the pioneers of home computer age. We are the Digital Age. I myself still can't for the life of me, remember a time in my life (even when I was very very young) were I there wasn't a computer in our house, school etc.


Oh, you young kids. I was around 12 when I saw my first computer in real life. Nobody I knew had ever seen a computer. My school managed to get a Commodore PET on loan for a few days and we were all amazed. (yes, the very first computer I saw was a Commodore!)

I am horrified when I think that there are now generations of kids who have only known Windows. At least it seems from this thread that a few discover the amazing Amiga. :-)

Ahhh.. it's comforting to see more older people here.

I always feel so old, thinking "I remember the first time I saw colour television", "I remember when the VCR came out", "I remember when Al Gore invented the internet.."

You guys in your 60's can say "I remember when WW II ended", "I remember when television got popular", "I remember when men were men and women were nervous"  ;-)
