Am I the only Zoomer? I see a lot of “I remember”-type responses, so I have to wonder.
I remember xp… Thanks about it

Xennial. Grew up memorizing phone numbers, using 1-800-COLLECT to get picked up from the mall, and typing basic programs from magazines into qbasic.

@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.

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.

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?
MXX53@programming.dev 1 year ago
PSU and RAM had to be replaced. Garbage picked those too.

'91 baby here that used a Toshiba T1000 back when I was in diapers.
The farthest back I can actually remember is a PowerMac G3 in school and a few Compaq machines at home running Windows 95.

Started with a Tandy 1000.

I always coveted the Tandy 1000, but I never got one. Which one did you have?
mcc@lemmy.sdf.org 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.

I was born in 1991. I do not know what that makes me… half dead maybe.😹

Nice! Did you experience the CD era at all, or were you straight into MP3s?
FQQD@feddit.de 1 year 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.
