Ha! That's so funny! I am one of those that lived through all that.

But I think just the opposite... I think about how much fun it would have been to have grown up with all this computing power and technology all around.

Then I could have done so much more instead of entering programming contests where you had to create a box full of punch cards to be submitted in a batch job, or writing machine code games using character-based graphics and self-modifying code, or using 10 character per second teletype machines with punch tape storage!

Guess it goes to show, the grass always looks greener...!
