You are the bitchin'est 55-year-old I ever knew, Pete.
Also didn't we already establish that in just the same way that est is the oldest person here because he is older than time or whatever, Sam is the youngest just because it is that way? I guess what I am saying for this thread is that Sam is the only youngest forumite who matters.

I'm 20, and have been online for quite a long time. I remember sownloading shareware from the University of Michigan's FTP server, some 1996-era Nick.com, getting Playstation cheat codes from some website that probably doesn't exist anymore... all on a Power Mac 7200 with a 28.8k modem. Good times. We still have both.
Oddly enough, the first thing of any significance that happened after I was born (according to Wikipedia, anyway) was the Max Headroom incident.
monkeybiz:
Guh. I'm 24. You all make me feel old.
I got my first computer when I was 8. That thing still has AOL 1.0 on it. I was writing papers in elementary school on it and printing them out, dot matrix style.
I'm an OG. Original Geek. Word.
pwhodges:
I first programmed a computer at university in 1966 (like, really before the Internet, or even ARPAnet*, was invented) as part of my Engineering Science degree. But there's an older member here who is a computer geek - he could have started before then.
* mind you, ARPAnet was being designed at that time, and reached initial implementation in 1969.
benji:
I know my father first saw ARPAnet in a lab at the University of Michigan in 1972 or 1973. I was about a decade away then, but I do vaguely remember having a modem that required placing the handset from the telephone down on these 2 little circles.
