Ask Lemmy

I had Empire Strikes Back bed Sheets

I remember watching TV as a kid and deciding that, when I grow up, I want to be just like:

A) Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman,

B) that hot Mountie from Due South, and

C) The Littlest Hobo

Grew up using Vista

The first news broadcast I can remember the subject of is Tom Brokaw talking about a bombing in Bosnia... because I liked the alliteration.

Older than 9/11, but not by enough to remember much more than the stories about going balls to the walls on acting assimilated to the country I was living in so we wouldn't stand out as Americans because the consulate was worried some locals might try taking hostages to support the terrorists.

My first computer was a Sinclair

The first time i typed a paper for school i used a typewriter. The last time i wrote a paper for school i used Openoffice.

There was a misprint on magic the gathering cards that affected the artwork/coloration the year I was born. WotC recalled all of them and destroyed them all. The remaining ones that were already purchased sell for absurd money

I tried to make a portal to Aether.

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".

I was sixteen days old when the world ended and we were all thrown back into the stone age.

I started using computers on windows 10 (I am now a proud Kubuntu user)
