You're a computer boomer, basically don't count. A lot of millennials, with no relation to tech, can use the computer at least for basic stuff. That can't be said about any other generation.

My grandma was a computer boomer, she always had way nicer gear than me.

I think that entirely depends on where at in GenX you were born. My mom, aunt and uncles were older Gen X (65-72) and can barely use computers at all. My friend born in 78 gets along just fine though and has never once asked me for tech support. Our school didn't get a dedicated computer lab until most of the older GenX students had graduated. By the time I entered kindergarten in 91 we had a dedicated computer class with Apple (IIes or IIcs maybe?) and by the time I was in high school we had an A+ and CCNA elective class.
