[AusNOG] On Old Hands and Young Uns

[Joseph Goldman]

Soon enough the argument will be "I'm so old I remember 1.5mbit was the 
biggest ADSL plan you could get, most people only had 256k!"

In all seriousness though - my first computer, when I really got into 
computers, was already running Windows XP! I remember the family MS-DOS 
through Win98 computers with Dial-Up, but that was pre-interest and 
being allowed to 'tinker'.
