Childhood me is envious of childhood you. I had heard about the internet, but didn't get any real access til around when you were already ircopping.

I didn't grow up in California but Virginia so it was pretty lonely. Everyone online was from CA in the 90s and my friends didn't start having family computers until probably the 2000s.

And my parents really weren't very helpful with me growing it into a career. I was always "playing on the computer."
