Ah, the 1990s, a simpler, better time that unfortunately had either zero or terrible Internet speed.

I'm going to crack a Jolt Cola and turn up the Pixies now.

I just started in on computers at a very young age

Jolt...no, please.

On a Boy Scout trip, one time I ate a bunch of candy and drank a liter of Jolt.

Puke was neon blue and green. Didn't even know that could happen.

Then proceeded to spend the night camping in a ******* swamp where we probably all lost at least 5 pounds from sweating and no one slept.

Ah, memories. :D

My first computer: year 1996, processor AMD 386 SX @16 Mhz, 1024 Kb of RAM, 20 glorious Mb of HDD, 1x 5 1/4 floppy and 1x 3 1/2 disk. Later expanded with a 387 coprocessor so it could run AutoCAD.

Didn't had any internet until 2001, though, and back then it already was running on a 56 Kb modem and the Internet bill was the cost of phoning the ISP. Lol

The first computer I used in 1988 was our equivalent of the IBM XT. 4.77 MHz and 128KB ram. What a beast! Well, "used", couldn't actually read yet, and Prince of Persia didn't come out till 1989, so I was just mostly mashing random keys in the prompt for my amusement. Probably could pass as a Holywood hacker.

I had just an abacus when you had computers. All you could play was "math" and very primitive form of music. It could serve as a rattle when you jiggled it.

I have vague early childhood memories of playing some kind of Space Invaders clone, the original Prince of Persia and a game where you had to make a frog to cross a busy road and then a river full of turtles and snakes. (It ended badly for the frog). That was most likely on a XT.

Also, morning!

True multi-functionality. It can even serve as a self-defense mechanism in a pinch.

I vaguely recall playing some pacman derivative and Dangerous Dave. ****** if I know what system that was on, though.

When I'm good I'm very good, but when I'm bad, I'm better.

I don't remember my first pc which I owned in 1993.But the first PC game I ever played was Home Alone on a Windows 3.1 office computer at my dad's workplace.In that game you had to set up traps for the burglars in a very VERY limited time and I didn't know the controls except moving so I failed again and again.I was more of a handheld gaming device geek.Then one day my dad bought me a Sega Mega Drive 2 console.I think I also had an Atari but the memories of it are a bit hazy.

Shooting torpedoes at various enemy starbases last night, taking a shot whenever I had to reload the launchers. At some point after the third starbase I'm pretty sure I got fleet warped a couple of times without noticing, then woke up to hear the FC telling us to online our bomb launchers, kept waiting for orders on where my squad was supposed to bomb.

Pretty sure I logged out at the safe spot in that system (behind enemy lines). Woke up this morning regretting that last half a dozen shots or so. Why is my portrait so blurry?

So, you're a bounty hunter. No, that ain't it at all. Then what are you? I'm a bounty hunter.
