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.

I think there is a good number of people who are interested, it's just harder to get involved in it as a hobby without having time/money to throw around.

Nope you're good, and welcome :)
