I was nearly 6

Like hell can I remember.

13 years ago I would have been 6 and probably just doing what six year olds do. I actually can't even remember being that age :eek:

. I think we just got our first dog around that time coming up to Christmas so between that and Santa coming in a few weeks I would have been hyper

I was 22 and bashing heads in what was Glasgow's newest Indie club. Still living witrh the folks but was just about to purchase a new house and move in with the girlfriend (now the missus).

I think I was still playing games on my Amiga at that time. Woo, a whole half meg system with a half mag upgrade. Heady days indeed.

I would have been 9, so maybe another year or so before we got internet access. It was '94 or '95 when we got it.

I'd be 21, looking for a job (unsuccessfully at the time) after finishing my Biotechnology degree. I'd probably be sleeping at this time of the day after playing the Amiga all night. Not the best of times in my life it has to be said.

Tri-Woo-Ox · 8 Dec 2006 at 11:23

I would have been 10

aardvark · 8 Dec 2006 at 11:25

i was 20 doing a degree and using the internet, although there was nothing good on it

bitslice · 8 Dec 2006 at 11:28

I was stealing remote FTP access off of our local uni

was about 14, got compuserve and a comp port modem for chirstmas this year i think, was trying to play x-wing on a trackball (boo hiss) and playing with lego. Learning to moutainbike properly, reading mint sause and falling off skateboards. Arr the age of innocence

Skiddley · 8 Dec 2006 at 11:43

I was 14, had a PC, still a few years until I got my 28.8k modem and got on the bullitin boards for cheesy pr0n.

I would have been 18 and enjoying some of my first visits to The Mayfair (RIP) in Newcastle and in my final year of 6th form.

YES! omg that was an AWESOME game, I lost severe amounts of my time to that game. Infact, I still have it some where.

Drawoh Tesremos · 8 Dec 2006 at 15:12

13 years ago, I was still in fulltime employment. And still three years away from starting to take life leisurely.

I still have it too, and the manual which iirc was about 400 pages thick

Nismo · 8 Dec 2006 at 15:21

I was 12, probably looking forward to becoming a teenager in a couple more months

Grandmaster Fap! · 8 Dec 2006 at 15:29

I was 22, still playing streetfighter 2 to death and my wife was expecting our first child

And a ridiculous amount of floppies to install from iirc.

Fusion · 8 Dec 2006 at 15:41

Listening to Mr Vain and playing on the Mega Drive like most of my peers. A slightly more interesting point is that around thirteen years ago, NASA launched the STS-61 mission which fitted corrective optics to the Hubble Space Telescope, bringing crisp, detailed images to astronomers.

SDK^ · 8 Dec 2006 at 15:45

I was in my final year at school and taking my Moc GCSE's.
