I'm 37. First computer I ever used was in '78 and I don't even know what it was. It was in a Jr High programming class: there was no monitor, just a continuous printout of inputs and outputs. We'd spend the whole period playing this car racing game.
Bought my first computer in '89. A 386 for $2500. Splurged on the color monitor but couldn't afford the HP inkjet for $750. Also insisted on a 3.5" floppy drive in addition to the 5.25" cuz I knew that was the wave of the future. In '90 I discovered the internet and credit card debt thru a 1200 baud modem with per minute charges from PC-Link->Prodigy->AOL.
