I feel like I'm kind of alone in this. I was born in 2004 so the two retro computers I tinker with the most (a C64 and a 486 clone) are way older than I am. Are there any other younger retro enthusiasts who never grew up with the hardware but are into it now?

Also this is my first post on Lemmy, so I'm sorry if this is out of place here.

90's kid and the earliest system I remember using is WinXP. Hate it now, but I love Win98FE, Win2K, Vista and, from the little I have used it, Macintosh 7. I still want to get a NEC PC-98, but any of the models are as expensive as a cheaper car. 🥹
