10. I think I bought my Commodore 64 in 84

And maybe a Compaq a couple years later...

I was 30 years old and bought it at the urging of my Dad (who had written an article for our local paper (in 1983) about this new way to communicate, called electronic mail.) He was all on board.

I had no idea what sage advice it was. I didn't have any formal computer education, but I learned enough to hold my own when many of my contemporaries were left behind.

Found this fun link when I was poking around: https://www.computerhistory.org/timeline/1983/
