You, my 1980 cousin, are Xennial! We have an analog childhood and a digital young adulthood.

    Also a 1980 baby, but because of my dad's work, we had the internet, such as it was, in late 86/ early 87, and I literally had a computer available to me since birth. Some of us got started on the digital part early.

    I am 86 baby and you are one of the only very few people born in 80s or earlier that had really early adoption to computers in addition to me. I could use MS-DOS before I could write anything else as I also had had computer available since pretty much birth also because of my dads job.

    I had computers from a young age.

    ASM coding on a Microbee running CP/M OS was where I started somewhere around 1986.

    But I grew up as they did and have a deep understanding of how they work.

    I'm a Senior SysAdmin/Systems Architect these days.

    I still have a @hotmail.com email address that is just my name. No numbers or anything.
