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.
