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 had a TI-99/4A my parents bought me at the tender age of five. I was so into that thing, learning hex before most kids knew their alphabets so I could make my own sprites, making all kinds of games.
I still have the tattered Extended BASIC manual on my bookshelf, but the computer was sadly lost to Mom's attic.
@zigg I wish we each still had our old games to exchange :D
@pamela Both systems live on in emulation! I was pretty impressed with a TI emulator I tried once!
