Besides general interest, I've noticed that every year these ages get a little bit older. I'm starting to think that this isn't coincidental. I think us Gen-Yers that hacked on QBASIC had the best head start.

1996 born here (17yo), but my first computers were chucked-out old ones, so I grew up on DOS, Win3.1 and 9x and QBASIC.

Yeah, I'm seriously considering starting my (yet-to-be-conceived) children on a CLI computer unless there is something more awesome in 2021 or something.
