Wow. 51-60 only 3%? I was fascinated with ForTran in the sixties, and by the time 64kb Commodores were out (the bleeding edge class of super-computers that sent us to the moon and back) I was destined to be a nerd. 21 years in the navy later, and I'm still tinkering. I've always thought building and wrecking an OS was fun, until i finally got rid of my dos1.0 CoCo in 1999, and bought a new box filled with Win98SE.
EEeeew!! It took me all of about 3 months to get comfy with OSS/linux/unix. And yes, I really did hang on to 64kb RAM and a phone-cradle modem for about 15 years. What the heck, it worked. I just finished building a new box and finally stuffed the old 249 mhz MMX under the bed Maybe i'll hook it to my QCam and use it to watch the squirrels raid the birdfeeder. I tend to keep things for a long time.....-O.
