I owned computers before this, but I remember buying my first PC, a 286, at a flea market for $20 with a coffee can full of pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters.

My childhood is having Carameldansen be a popular meme, and then having that promptly taken away.

EDIT: I also witnessed the birth and the death of "Vine".
