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.

Born in 89, so "old" compared to you, but I really want to get into Amigas. They're slightly older than myself, but they were never sold in Brazil, not even as contraband.

I would try to get into PC-88/98 and Sharp X68000, but I can't overcome the language barrier yet
