My schools had this growing up. The old single button Macs(I remember this game too).

We didn’t have a computer in our house until I was ~8. It was blistering quick 400Mhz machine running windows…(Good ol’ slot load processors).

But the time I was ~11 I had built my own computer. Mother was kind enough to take a leap of faith and set a budget for the project. My parents are absolutely not tech people. So they had no idea what I was doing and could offer no assistance other than monetary. It worked out in the end though.

I work in the tech industry and I’ve had windows boxes, and even a few MacBook pros for work. We deploy stuff to Linux and windows. I have dual Xeon servers running Linux in the basement.

What about those of us who were typing code from a magazine into an Oric-1?

My father made me figure out how to compile Linux drivers for a modem card before I could have internet.

But... I started on a BBC Micro.

Well that feels targeted.

I grew up with mac, but I was always so frustrated that I couldn't play the games and run the programs my friends could on their computers. I finally bought my own PC in high school, and was so happy to have the control I always wanted. I haven't switched to Linux yet, but at this point it's inevitable; I'm just dragging my feet on figuring it out.

"When I was a kid the computer didn't need some filthy OS!!"

ZX81 - C64 - Amiga (that wasn't an OS, it was just for launching stuff! /s ) gang
