LOL, that was my first PC too. It seems a lot of people here started out with a Commodore 64. So what's Commodore up to these days? Are they ever gonna come out with a new, high tech, PC. ? The Commodore 64.20 LOL

I was in the first grade, so right around 6 when I first used a computer. It was at school, we had apple's. I only remember that because pushing the apple did something.. pushing the half eaten apple did something else..

It was a Private Catholic school, in the most urban area of the city, so I guess we were above public school budget, below normal private school budget? lol. Anyway, we sat two to a computer, maybe 3 if you were the unlucky guy and took a few computer classes. That was in the 80's somewhere I guess.

There are still people 'shocked' that I let my kids near the computers here, and friends of mine that kind of 'freak out' when their smaller kids use my pc's. I ask my kids for help regularly . I've been doing what I do for 10 years or so (as a hobby at first) they already do it better than me.
