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.

@RetroDragon Wow! ... I was born in 1951, our computers then were big as a house. I just like tinkering with stuff, making a beat-up old computer work gives me a feeling of accomplishment. My first computer was a TS1000. I still have it and it still works. For me, this retro stuff is just fun.
