I didn't own a computer for over 10 years after that. In fact this is just the second one I'm on now.

I thought I was technologically retarded.

Nope I've been playing catch up ever since! I missed almost every big electronic gadget between 1983-1993 I wasn't interested anymore.

know what you mean. I didn't even own a computer till around 99 or so. I was just a few credits away from having a computer support certificate before I got my first one. a friend gave me a couple that his work was going to throw out in 98. I got them running and networked together then found out I wanted a laptop.

I've never been on the bleeding edge of computers either in the ones I've either bought or made. too damn expensive. I think it was 03 when I got my first MP3 player, it was on clearance so it was way behind on size.

Can't remember if I posted it here or not, but all of my essays in college were typed on an ancient Smith Corona manual that I rescued from a dumpster and repaired.
