I believe I posted this in that other Donald site so for all the newbys here, this is why.
I don't call myself that because I'm the oldest person here because I'm probably not. I use ElderPede because I believe I've been on this internet thingy longer than most, if not all here. I took my first peek in 1990 when I joined AOL and got a taste. I then found .irc and then .usenet so within one year I discovered the mysteries of the internet. Been on since then and watched the evolution of www. My only regret was that I didn't teach myself to code back then.
Anyway I appreciate all the respect you fine folks show me. It means a lot to me because all I have to offer now is history. I love all of you patriots and await reading your memes every morning. What really amazes me is how many smart brains we have here, and we do! ...KAG!
Elder Granny here, my first computer was an IBM PC the first year they came out, 1980. $5000 for computer, color monitor, and dot matrix printer, 2 floppies and no hard drive.
If that seems primitive (it is) well listen to this: in my very early childhood, plastic had not been invented yet. We had Bakelite and cellophane that's all.
Yep. My first had a tiny hard drive. No Windows. When that came out I discovered the internet, but I never used a system like AOL. (My father was one of the first Mac guys. He used AOL. Designed Mahjong tiles for my mother. Both are deceased now.)
