Ask Lemmy

I got a 2400 baud modem and thought it was so cool that I didn’t need to use an acoustic coupler

I still call them Opel Fruits

Much of my childhood was spent watching BAMZOOKi and Jungle Run on CBBC.

I watched cartoons on Saturday morning and Davey & Goliath on Sunday.

I was still a kid when my dad brought home a brand new Apple II. Before that computer appeared in his home office (and in my live, as I used that Apple so much more than he ever did ;)), I learned to type on my granddad's typewriter.

Old.

The first news broadcast I can remember the subject of is Tom Brokaw talking about a bombing in Bosnia... because I liked the alliteration.

AIM away messages and the passive flex of who has the best 'buddyprofile' that may or may not link to a livejournal or xanga page

Elders scrolls v is the first game I played

I had Empire Strikes Back bed Sheets

My childhood is having Carameldansen be a popular meme, and then having that promptly taken away.

EDIT: I also witnessed the birth and the death of "Vine".

I tried to make a portal to Aether.

I was alive when the when there were more than 8 elevens.

I'm almost a full year older than the NES, but almost a year younger than the Famicom.

I was sixteen days old when the world ended and we were all thrown back into the stone age.

Vic-20, Atari 600 XL, zx-81.

In that order

I started using computers on windows 10 (I am now a proud Kubuntu user)

I still shoot film and I still have a record player.

First smart phone was an iPhone 5S.

Guess my age?

I was at this concert:

First video card upgrade was a 3dfx voodoo 2

First computer only had a teletype, no screen. Oh and paper tape memory.
