  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.

Did you kinda know beforehand that it's something you're interested in? (If it is, but I'm taking a "wild" guess here that you are, seeing as we're on Lemmy).

Didn't have one till I was 15, and that was pretty late compared to most other families we knew (around 2005). I went from zero interest in computers to the geekiest, most knowledgeable computer nerd of anyone we knew within a year of that. It's like I dove into another universe and never came back, which has both had major pros and cons.

The first experience i had witha pc was my sisters 386sx that she got from school. It cam with a netcom.com floppy that neither of us knew anything about but i plugged it into the drive and got to the splash page before learning that it needed an online connection to complete setup. We didnt have one so it was just a fancy beer coaster until aol came along
