Am I the only Zoomer? I see a lot of "I remember"-type responses, so I have to wonder.

Nice! Did you experience the CD era at all, or were you straight into MP3s?

[โ€“] FQQD@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

More like both, i always had a little cd collection, but it was mostly self-burned from mp3s my dad bought off iTunes. I also had a early-ish mp3 player at some point.

Millennial here. Started on a garbage picked pentium 2 that I ran DOS on.

A computer is would be a good find in those days. Did you have to do much to get it running?

[โ€“] MXX53@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

PSU and RAM had to be replaced. Garbage picked those too.

Starting my fourth decade on this rock. Distressingly pale... My boys are into trying to fix and upgrade the consoles & PC's they've grown up with, plus a couple old PowerPC G4 & G5 Macs I snatched up a few years ago, so we'll see where that goes.

Started with a Tandy 1000.

I always coveted the Tandy 1000, but I never got one. Which one did you have?

[โ€“] mcc 2 points 1 year ago

That was pretty early on for me so only remember a few details. Playing Chuck Yeager's Advanced Flight Sim was the main thing I did on it.

@CanadaPlus I'm 54. If you're into the generation markers, I'm a Gen X. We don't get your generation's jokes and we're totally comfortable with that.

Wife bad? I'm sorry, are we being catty? Haha.

I was born in 1991. I do not know what that makes me... half dead maybe.๐Ÿ˜น

[โ€“] CanadaPlus 2 points 2 years ago

Millennial, I'm pretty sure.
