I missed out on all that early home computer stuff, with only developing an interest in computing about 6 or 7 years ago. Damn!!!

I am too young to have worked on computers in the 1980's, so I'm right with you brianL!

We had BBC Micros at school. Pre-Windows and DOS days. God, some days I feel almost as old as BrianL!

You were too young, but I almost left it 'til I was too old. Have you read this, my first LQ blog entry?

XavierP
Don't worry, you will be as old as me soon.
