Best thing about being a geek's kid is you get really cool toys. We always had computers around. Dad would bring them home from work once they got obsolete and let us use them during the day. We had computer games that had to be launched from DOS... I had my first PC when I was eleven. I think it had Win 3.11 but it got upgraded to 95 pretty quickly. Or it seems that way... must have been a couple years, though.

We have four or five computers in running condition right now, and 2 or 3 more that are just shells... old boxes that got cannibalized during hardware upgrades. The oldest one still in running condition is a 80486 DX4/100 with a 800 MB hard drive, running Windows 3.1.
My first computer was a Sinclair ZX-81 that I bought with my high school graduation money in 1982.
