My brother had a TRS-80 around 1982, I think I fiddled with it for about ten minutes and didn't touch another computer for the next 16 years. I'm kinda surprised how young we are (assuming nobody's lying about their age), I'd always assumed the average would be closer to 50. A while back someone did a similar poll at the 68KMLA and it turned out a good portion of the membership was in their early teens (ie: younger than their computers). -s
My usual handle ("usotsuki") notwithstanding, I'm honest as a heart attack, lol... I was mucking around with Apple //es my foster father borrowed from work (he was a special-ed teacher at an elementary school), and later when we got an Apple //c there I was always using it - I was 3-6 at that time. Couple years and a family later I was introduced to the IIgs and blown away, matter of fact being on the trailing edge as I was I always wanted to see GUIs on the computers I used (Apple //e, later IBM PC and PCjr) that compared to the IIgs. (I think the closest one on the PC is FreeGEM)
