Anyone other young people into Retro Computing? (self.retrocomputing)

I feel like I'm kind of alone in this. I was born in 2004 so the two retro computers I tinker with the most (a C64 and a 486 clone) are way older than I am. Are there any other younger retro enthusiasts who never grew up with the hardware but are into it now?

Also this is my first post on Lemmy, so I'm sorry if this is out of place here.

1990, so not really 'young' anymore, but we're compatriots in thinking computers older than us are cool. By the first time I touched a computer, the machines I like to tinker with now were very obsolete.

That first computer I touched, by the way? It was a 70s model Apple II.
