I'm nineteen now so...eighteen years? I remember learning how to type when I was about one. I could type my name and "banana"and I ended up reformatting our ancient computer's hard drive so that all of the files were changed to my name or "banana." Yeah, my parents weren't too happy about that one...

In 1982 or so when I was 2 years old, my older brother got a Spectrum Z80 for Christmas. I remember playing JetPac a lot, and I sort of liked the rubber keyboard. Always lost to my brother in 2 the player mode, but then, he is 9 years older than me.

Tried JetPac again a few years back on an emulator. Still a fun game, and I've got much better in it.

EDIT: So, it's been 25 years now. Whee, time flies.

Must be some 20 years now, started in the age of MS-DOS and the 386.
Began using a pc when I was 5 or 6, so that would make it 20-21 years indeed.

First pc the family owned was a packard bell with win 95.

I played mega race on it, and theme park demo.

I think I was 10 or so, so 10 years.

I played pong and coleco before that however.
