The bit that's really frightening is when you realise there are people on here who joined up when they were in Uni, since then they've finished uni, got married, bought houses, had kids and their kids are now leaving uni themselves.

I joined when I was 19, I'm now 40. Jesus!

Yup, I was 16 when I started this account, although I did have account pre nuke as well so more likely around 15 when I first joined the forums. I’m 40 in Feb…

My first online account was Argos in March 1999, aged 20.

eBay and PayPal were in January 2001, aged 22. That's still effectively 25 years ago now!

Overclockers was in Summer 2004. Amazon in September 2004.

YouTube January 2007.

Facebook, Steam, WhatsApp, Spotify not until 2016 (late on the bandwagon there).

Never done TiktTok / video shorts, Snapchat, Telegram, Instagram, or whatever youngsters / influencers use nowadays. I'm a gen-Xer, not a gen-Zer.
