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.

I was born After 2000s and yeah I love Retro Computing! Before I really got into the Looks and aesthetics of Retro Computers Like the Commodore PET, so when I saw one in an Auction for surprisingly Little Money I took a Bid on it, thinking I'd get outbid anyway... I didn't!

Once I had this Massive Historic Machine in front of me, my Passion was set in stone. I got into History Videos and Technical Analysis of Old Hardware and got a Small Collection together!

Due to Budgetary issues as of recent I've had to Cool on this Hobby of mine tho. Hope I get to expand my Collection with an Amiga or any of the Atari Systems later this year hopefully!
