It's encouraging that as-near-as-dammit 40% of responses to this poll are 35 or over.

*sigh*

I've been running linux since '92-'93ish. Back in the days where kernel hacking involved editing boot.S to prevent my 486 from hanging without a keyboard attached.

Bwahahaha-- you're all old!

*throws rocks at windows*

I got my first tablet in May of 2007 (The 21st is my b-day) and just recently sold my 770 to my friend in May and bought an N800 shortly after. I am 14 now and know a small bit of python (halp pleeze!) and html (I run my own website).

I guess I must check in at 51.

I first bought a home PC back in 1981. Atari 400. Got lots of cartridges for it. Well, not that many. Later met a guy who helped me build a 5.25" floppy with the "smart" speedup firmware in it (turbo? can't recall what it was called) and he had all those cart games on floppy. Later had a BBS which also had some games.

A few later, I worked for a local company that repaired computer circuit boards from IBM minis and terminals, and other brands also. I once cataloged the number of brands of equipment I'd repaired but quit counting when it got over 100. That job petered out tho. You can't survive repairing throwaway gear that's made in China.

So nowadays I am back in school studying to be a medical tech (sonographer) so I can get paid to use high tech gear once again. I've had my N800 a few weeks; never really used Linux before but I did boot a few Xenix terminals (and of course, IBM system 32 and 34s and thousands of serial terminals) back in the day. Used to troubleshoot serial terminals comms problems daily. Made wrap cables for them to test with. Made lots of custom video cables so I could test monitors for customers who would not send in the machine that drove their dead monitor, just the monitor, for a machine nobody else had. Even repaired a few Cisco routers and switches. After my Atari I owned an ST, a 486, a Celeron, and an AMD64 as well as the N800. At work I used every M$ os from Dos 3.3 to Windows XP. Still can't make myself try Vista...
