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.

Born 2001, I work at a local charity shop that handles a lot of older tech. Usually nothing too fancy but I spend a lot of time testing older stuff that's dropped off. I picked up an old Apple PowerBook a couple years back which was a lot of fun trying to get usable.
