To continue the useless old person cloud-waving, My parents got our first computer in 1987, a 386/33MHz. Had a 120MB hard disk. Big fukn' casino back then.also tbf I got my first fambly computer and internet in probably like 1998 and I was in middle school. we had AOL and I used it 50/50 for AIM with my friends from school and doing stupid roleplay chats (heyoooooo Rhydin) for the 1 hour or so a day I was allowed to tie up the phone line. it's funny bc the only people that ever called were bill collectors, and we never answered, but on the off chance there was some emergency, my parents were afraid of tying up the phone line, and even when cell phones started to be a "thing," we still had dial up because I lived in the middle of nowhere with no access to cable, and there was no cell service. I think we finally got DSL in like 2004?
So apparently you Googlebate yourself regularly, huh?
we had computers before then, but mostly just for fancy word processors or playing games, not hooked up to the outside world. I should have clarified thats what I meant by fambly computer, I was talking about one that could actually internet or whatever. the older ones might have been technically able to, but probably couldn't have run AOL which was the only way we were on the Internet's at that point. I played a lot of commander keen. and Clyde's adventure.To continue the useless old person cloud-waving, My parents got our first computer in 1987, a 386/33MHz. Had a 120MB hard disk.

the altos gear was half a mainframe kinda. it was multi-user if i remember right.1982 or so my office got an Altos 8600 with 8" floppy drive and 40MB hard drive. Cost around £14,000 I seem to recall. MP/M-86 and I wrote our software in MBasic then compiled it.
