Thread: wow...technology today...

I can compete with the 5 year old...
When I was 5 my stepdad bought me an old 386 with DOS.
I sat there on it and played with it (lots of words, I LOVED to read)
I eventually started playing with the cd command, and found a games directory
The I fiigured out how to play moon goose and family fued.
I eventually lost interest.
A year and a half later, my parents bought a computer with windows... I thought the windows logo was so amazing...
I changed it to the words "Dusty's Old Computer".
I got grounded for a week and was forced to draw a new windows logo for it.
Always have used the command prompt to browse the computer.

When I was five, I played with Lego bricks.

That was back when they really were made out of brick

Oh ya!
Doom, Doom2, Heretic, Hexen, Quake. I played em all.
I had so much trouble on Doom2 because I hadn't learned how to strafe well. Now I can beat it on UltraViolence no sweat.

When I was 5 I used to play on my Dad's Amiga. Bard's Tale, all the Cinemaware games, I loved em. My Dad recently bought an Amiga 3000 and is havign fun messing with it.
By the time I was 8 or 9 I had begun to seriously explore computers, so my parents said I should start programming. They left it to me to decide on a language. Unfortunately, I stumbled onto QBASIC. Ack. Soon thereafter my Dad began showing me Delphi. It was great because it allowed the creation of GUI applications with a pretty good language for a learner (Pascal). After awhile I decided to learn C++. I think I was... about 11 or 12 at this point. At first it was slightly... different. But soon I came to realise... thing are EASIER with C++! I love classes, being one to organize things a bit TOO much, they are perfect for me.

When I was 5 I had to work down t'pit all day. Then I swept chimneys.

Then I played with my meccano set. Lego sucks/is for girls.

My father bought my the first computer when I was 7 years old, but I really didn't get to them until I was 12 or 13.
but know my 9 years old brother is very good user...

When I was 5 I used to play in a sand box. And had fun. I've built casstles that looked like ........... But now... I'm the king of the world.

And by the way, I grew up in Russian, soviet union back then (ukraine now). And I didn't know comps even existed. I always dreamed of seeing a lamborghini when I was 10 and then I realized I'll never drive one.

Now I'm on the top level, I aint got no goals but the next is to take over microsoft.!
