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.
'91 baby here that used a Toshiba T1000 back when I was in diapers.
The farthest back I can actually remember is a PowerMac G3 in school and a few Compaq machines at home running Windows 95.
I remember when my own little Zoomer was born, so I can't help ya here.

I remember xp... Thanks about it
Another gen-z dude here 🙋🏼♂️
Nice! Did you experience the CD era at all, or were you straight into MP3s?
More like both, i always had a little cd collection, but it was mostly self-burned from mp3s my dad bought off iTunes. I also had a early-ish mp3 player at some point.
Millennial here. Started on a garbage picked pentium 2 that I ran DOS on.
A computer is would be a good find in those days. Did you have to do much to get it running?
PSU and RAM had to be replaced. Garbage picked those too.
Started with a Tandy 1000.
I always coveted the Tandy 1000, but I never got one. Which one did you have?

Starting my fourth decade on this rock. Distressingly pale... My boys are into trying to fix and upgrade the consoles & PC's they've grown up with, plus a couple old PowerPC G4 & G5 Macs I snatched up a few years ago, so we'll see where that goes.
I was born in 1991. I do not know what that makes me... half dead maybe.😹
Millennial, I'm pretty sure.
