I feel like. How do you feel?

I remember my first computer. It was an IBM Aptiva with a 1GB hard drive and 8 megs of RAM. It came with a big packet of games, including Mech Warrior 2.

Ahh good times.

I was expecting a treatise on black team politics. I was utterly disappointed.

Should we stay off your lawn?

Jack Diorno is going to nuke you. Yes yes.

k-pro monochrome monitor with a 20mb hd and DOS. 33.6 modem. Ran IRC and MUDs though

I have to agree with you citizenkane, I am not even that old and I remember arcades at Godfathers pizza, and thinking that they were pretty amazing, not I look at the games on PS3 and it's mind blowing. Imagine where we will be in 20 years.

Oh fearless leader my first computer was a commodore 64. Yall are a bunch of whipper snappers, but wait for some ol' greybeard to top me by saying, "My first computer was an adding machine!"

I see it coming, I really do.

Atari, and an Epson Equity II. Floppy discs. BIG floppy discs. I was using an adding machine, abacus and slide rule. I ruled the world!

Pascal was the rage, and Fortran was the amazing moment of the future. Box the size of a refrig where we leased "Hot Site" space from their ginormous 13.0 Gb drives for tape uploads. We were technically advanced! Novell 1.0 Certified, and knew it was the future. I've got Flash drives bigger than that. I've lived through the entire revolution to date. Remember the "Sneaker Net"?

Played Pong on a monochrome, and people thought we were Gods. Atari? Had color! The Earth was going to end soon. DOS 1.2, anyone?

I love technology! Flyin' pixels through the color-teeny, Ma! Rotary phone was the rage! Private (no party) lines. Cars without seat belts, and metal dash.

I've been part of the revolution. I'm not sure we've done anyone huge favors, though. I kinda understand how Oppenheimer felt. We've created such power, yet we have no idea how to harness, control, or properly use it. DARPANet forever!

I used to have a 486. Good times! I didn't have the luxury of a 1GB hard drive though
