tephra:joisbishmyoga:penprp: macrolit:20 years. Ugh. And you? Lessee, we got the computer right around moving to the new house in Seattle, so that’d be 87… so 34 years, about. I remember one of the first times I wrote my name was typing it on my parents’ computer. I had not figured out the shift key, so I somehow decided the Q was a lowercase A. It was 1983 and I was very smol… 38 years ago. Hmm… well the TAG thing ran at school in third grade and after that I talked my parents into getting a Commodore Vic-20 so… probably around 1983. for me as well. I believe that would have been computer literacy class in 7th grade, funded by a brief surge of solvency by the school district, where we learned to do extremely simple scripts in Basic. *counts back* That was 85, so 35 years. -- source link
