I myself am 23 (I'm probably one of the youngest members here), born
1981. I guess you could say that I'm a second generation classic
computer user.
Anyhow, I cut my teeth on an Osborne 1 that my dad owned (that he hooked
up on old Amdek B&W monochrome monitor to), as well as the Apple //e &
//e platinums at primary/elementary school. After that it was primarily
PCs from there on (what can I say, I was the generation that got
corrupted at an early age!). It remained that way until 1998 when I was
given a Commodore 64C (which I still have and has been heavily expanded
since then), and now, well, have a look at my collection now! ;)
