My computer history doesn't go back QUITE as far as y'all, but I feel fortunate to have seen as much of it as I have.
Started with the Commodore 64 when I was 5. Outside of myself and my best friend writing silly "hello world" programs in BASIC, it was mostly used for playing games. At 7, my parents got an IBM XT. I learned a lot about computers and between that and their next computer (about 6 years later). I recall WordPerfect, and them paying me to input their receipts to calculate their sales tax paid in prep for them to do their taxes. I also became very familiar with DOS.
As we approached the "modern" era, by which I mean 486, they bought a computer when I was about 13 and at that point I became the IT administrator for the house. I wrote a batch file menuing system so my dad could figure out how to get to programs he wanted to use, eventually pissed him off because about every time he got familiar with an OS I'd change it... DOS w/ Windows 3.1 to OS/2 2.1 to Win95 to OS/2 Warp, was the progression IIRC? At that point I also got into the BBS world and ran my own BBS--probably not the only 15 year old in the world to have his own BBS at the time lol.
In high school I took a programming class. The first day I realized it was a joke. It was pretty much "here's a 'for loop', now practice this for the next three weeks and we'll move on'. So from day 1 I started my final project, which was essentially writing any program that needed to include the various lessons from the class. So I essentially wrote the old tank battle game "Scorched Earth" for the Apple 2gs.
Went to Purdue for electrical engineering, and my programming skills were brought into the modern era with C, as well as teaching me assembly. I have used assembly a grand total of once professionally, and hope I never need to again lol.
Now I work for the company that invented the hard drive in 1956, which was 5MB and about the size of a washing machine, and just announced our new 22TB and 26TB 3.5" HDDs 3 weeks ago in 3.5" form factor...
It's been a fun road...
