Am I the only Zoomer? I see a lot of "I remember"-type responses, so I have to wonder.

@CanadaPlus I'm 54. If you're into the generation markers, I'm a Gen X. We don't get your generation's jokes and we're totally comfortable with that.

Started with a Tandy 1000.

I always coveted the Tandy 1000, but I never got one. Which one did you have?

That was pretty early on for me so only remember a few details. Playing Chuck Yeager's Advanced Flight Sim was the main thing I did on it.

'91 baby here that used a Toshiba T1000 back when I was in diapers.

The farthest back I can actually remember is a PowerMac G3 in school and a few Compaq machines at home running Windows 95.

Xennial. Grew up memorizing phone numbers, using 1-800-COLLECT to get picked up from the mall, and typing basic programs from magazines into qbasic.

I was born in 1991. I do not know what that makes me... half dead maybe.😹

Millennial, I'm pretty sure.
