Isn't that just cos: a) you had to build your own PC back then, and b) you have way more time and resources to do so
Exactly. I don't know that it's just that, but it is that. It's not like the people are fundamentally different raw materials - a generation is defined by it's circumstances. And those were the gen x circumstance.
(Edit: except resources. There were fuck all resources compared to today)
