    I feel old. Linux didn’t exist when I was 10 years old, Linus was still in high school at that point. My home computer was a TRS-80 CoCo 2.

      I feel medium aged. Netbooks didn’t exist when I was 10 years old. My home computer was a 386 with Win3.11 that was very dated at the time.

      TRS!

      Yeah, I’m only turning 24 this October, so that’s much before my time. I’ve always found something charming about machines from that era. My grandfather has an Amiga 500 that he got back in the day that still works. Sometimes him and I play around on it just for fun.

        I miss my Amiga 500 Plus dearly… If only I understood English better at the time, and had someone teach me the basics of computing, instead of just learning to play games…

          From my understanding the machine was huge in Europe in its day.

          I’m American myself, but my grandfather is from Sweden originally. That’s where he got it back in the 80s
