Although I always look back on my early computer years with immense happiness I've started to feel a little sad about it too. It was such a great time in my life which, from 1981 through to 2003 consumed every waking hour, gave me a career, brought me closer to friends and has given me enduring memories. But since that era ended I've never been able to repeat it (personal circumstances - moved house, got married, had kids, moved away from friends). Even before my 1981 VIC 20 I used to spend every 10p I could at various arcades when my parents would let me. It was such a happy time. But I find myself looking back with a little sadness that it's over now. Even when I do get time in the future I doubt it will be as exciting to me because it's not new anymore.
So do you look back with happiness, sadness or both?
