Hey, fediverse (and bsd.network!)
I want to hear about your formative tech years!
What did you love in years past? What made you think "if we have something like *this* today, the future is certain to be amazing?"
@pamela I was a member of the local Explorer Scouts Computer branch. (They let me in a bit early. Technically I was too young).
I got to use Data General computers. I got to use a color terminal. (No idea which type now). I drew a Tardis and got to print it out on a plotter! This was junior high.
The most mind-blowing part was I had a pen pal in AUSTRALIA. This was like 1985. It was fucking MINDBLOWING to exchange emails with someone on the other side of the planet.
He was "The Wizard of Aus"
@kurtm ~~~it's still mind-blowing~~~
:D
