Nick @ The Linux ExperimentI’m 35 today, and I’m almost 100% ok with it!
Salva@thelinuxEXP you're still young 😊 (I'm 41).

Well, I’m old enough to remember booting into Sharp Basic… from a cassette tape!

@davidschulz @thelinuxEXP oh, the old MZ-700 and related computers 😄. An uncle of mine had one. My first computer at home was a 486 DX2 66 Highscreen PC compatible, when I was 14 in 1995. But I grew enjoying computers at friends home, exhibitions, shops or magazines/books 😊. Also, my first console at home was an Amstrad GX4000 in 1990, and a 2600 clone 🙂.
@salva_pl Well done! You’d be one of a few people who’ve heard of the MZ-700.
@davidschulz here in the town where I live, Zaragoza, Spain, a bank now called Ibercaja gave in the first 80s MZ-700 computers to customers with some financial/savings products, so it unexpectedly arrived to many homes and small businneses 🙂.
@salva_pl Wow, that was pretty progressive for that time! Here in Australia at the time it was very unusual for a home to have any sort of computer. If it did have one, Commodore 64, Sinclair ZX Spectrum and BBC Micro were more popular I think.
@davidschulz of course, ZX Spectrum, specially since the 128 and Amstrad models, and CPC, C=64 and MSX systems were far popular here 😀 . At home I didn't have a computer until 1995 (when I was 14), with a compatible PC 486 DX2 66 MHz. Console since 1990, my first one was the Amstrad GX4000 and a 2600 clone. In Christmas 1992 my parents bought a Master System II 😊.
