    [​IMG] Uhm, when I was maybe 8 years old (that was 19 years ago :D ) I used ... a C64 ... what else (unfortunately I don't have such a jewel now :( ). However, I started to really learn about computers age 14 by messing up my bros first PC - a 186er or a 286er, powered by Win 3.11

    Good old days :D

    I first used a computer at the age of... lemme think... 12, played a game named "Digger" for 2 hours - some of you guys must remember... 2-colors monitor and all that luxury... These were the days. High school and those weird 10-line "programs" in Basic - that doesn't count.

    I dont know how old I were when I first laid my hands on a keyboard...
    I remember that we didn't have any Windows and it was kinda like MsDOS...
    The first games I played were:
    o Jill in the Jungle
    o Keen
    o Hexagon
    o Tetris
    and a game called... I forgot. It was a little guy running around in a castle. You could fish, plant flowers, something with a mirror and paint Frankenstein in different colors
    Lol, I loved it.
    :D

    WEll, I think I learned how to use a macintosh when I was 4, since my brother was already obsessed with the computer at age 6, so... and I think I learned how to use a PC when I was 6 or 7.

    [​IMG] I learned to use a computer when I was but four minutes old, because there was one implanted into my brain by the American Government, to make sure I was dumb enough to be American and enjoy it.

    But then I found a personal computer to cycle my thoughts, interactions, entertainments, and money through a worldly circle. I was probably about four YEARS old by this time and the world was already dying slowly, what with an overfluxation of people who think that Huckleberry Finn is The Great American Novel.
