Lets see ...I remember ...I'm only 26 and memory is already foggy! lol I wanna say mid 90's is when I started playing with a comp then went to a boys home,while there I took a key boarding class and I got to be great at it while learning other stuff about the computer. I was typing with both hands even though not the best and I was relatively quick with a computer. I left the boys home, life got busy and I didn't use 1 that often for a few years then I bought 1 and things turned for the worse,I started "pecking" the keys again and forgot how to set up certain programs and other stuff I had learned from someone that showed me stuff that only computer tech's would know. Serious case of brain rot from those years of partying to hard I guess lol. A buddy I grew up with, his father worked on base doing computer related stuff for years, the company would send him out of town every 6 months or so to learn the new stuff...he remembers back in the day when computers were the size of a small house using vacuum tubes and what not as part of the computer.

Cool, may be the vacuum tubed computers have no value to this generation kids.... bt its still will be an honor for me to even see it.... |

I've never even seen 1 myself but it would be pretty sweet to step back in time to see 1 of those very 1st computers  Cool, may be the vacuum tubed computers have no value to this generation kids.... bt its still will be an honor for me to even see it.... |

Believe ir not, I was on line in 1984 when it was only black screen and green text. It didn't change much in the 5 years until I first saw one in 89. I was in the Army in Germany, and all anyone knew how to do with it was play Leisure Suit Larry, of Wolfenstein (I think). I bought my first pc in 99. It was a POS Gateway, with a 5 GB HD. I now have a homemade PC with an Athlon Super-Duper Board, 3GB of RAM, and 3+ Terabytes (3,000 Gigabytes) of HD space, a 22 inch flatscreen monitor, and a s-video cable hooked up to my 40 inch TV...  Just bought another 1 TB drive yesterday for 90 bucks. Now I have 4TB. That's 4,000 Gigabytes for those of you that don't have a mega system.

Got my 1st computer at the age of 40, a lil late ...
I'd no typing skills, which remains ... I had a 20 min. tutorial from an 8 yr old, and I was off ... From there? I'm completely self taught, and an admitted techno dweebtard ... ever a newbie ...  Science geek that I am, I employ it towards TONS of research, what a tool!!! Mingle is my very 1st, and only, online site to participate in ...

I grew up on computers. Heck I guess I was 12 when I first got to see a computer up close. In those days computers like our laptops took entire rooms of large buildings. Any geeks out there remember the TRW 2000? I do. Reel to reel RAM. Old hard disks that were 18" in diameter and stacked seven high. All with far less capacity than your 40GB hard drive in your average off the shelf PC from a year ago. 4 baud data transmission anybody?
Hell, dinosaurs still roamed the earth then... IBMasaurus, GeneralEletricalus Rex, Westinghousasaur, RCAamimus, Tandysaur! Then came Apple, Compaq, Hp but then the comet came... Microsoft... And then there was darkness... Well, maybe not darkness but the BSOD! From the ashes of destruction comes Linux rapidly evolving into a really usable OS but they need better legacy support for ATI so you can use Dual Head AGP without having to reprogram the damn OS! Some of us users are not programmers! |

I grew up around computers. It was a commodore 64, I believe.
My first time on the internet was in 96', so I was 13. I discovered that my school was offering Internet Service to the households of students for free, I suggested it to my mother.. instead, we decided to start paying for internet through Bellsouth. Then shortly after, we went to AOL. ah.. the days of AOL. |
