Am I the only Zoomer? I see a lot of “I remember”-type responses, so I have to wonder.
Xennial. Grew up memorizing phone numbers, using 1-800-COLLECT to get picked up from the mall, and typing basic programs from magazines into qbasic.
I was born in 1991. I do not know what that makes me… half dead maybe.😹
Starting my fourth decade on this rock. Distressingly pale… My boys are into trying to fix and upgrade the consoles & PC’s they’ve grown up with, plus a couple old PowerPC G4 & G5 Macs I snatched up a few years ago, so we’ll see where that goes.
Learned some language (I don’t know if it was Basic or other) on an Apple II at school in fifth grade. Asked for a family computer for xmas and was disappointed that we got a Mac IIsi because I couldn’t program it. 80MB HD. Everymac.com says 2 or 5MB of RAM.
SCSI! Back when data cables were huge and included terminators and channels or whatever. Stop making things so damn convenient and let us work our asses off to plug things in. /s
