Am I the only Zoomer? I see a lot of “I remember”-type responses, so I have to wonder.
I’m in that weird group that’s between Gen-X and Millennial. I’ve seen us called Xennials or the Oregon Trail Generation.
I remember xp… Thanks about it
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.
@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.
Wife bad? I’m sorry, are we being catty? Haha.
@CanadaPlus See…
Xennial!
First computer I used in school was an Apple IIe with a 720kb, 5.25" floppy drive.
First computer at home was a Tandy 1000. Still out in the garage, I think.
Worry not I am also a fellow Zoomer.
I always enjoyed retro technology either because I didn’t use to get the latest stuff right away or because there’s a certain charm to it that still grabs my interest.
There are dozens of us, dozens!
I’m a Millennial (35 years old)
When did you get the internet for the first time?
My first PC was in 1998, I think we had internet in 1999.
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.
I was born in 1991. I do not know what that makes me… half dead maybe.😹
Millennial, I’m pretty sure.
