I started out at age 9 with a TI-99/4A.  GOt it 2 months before they
quit making them. 8-)

I'm 26, BTW.  Been doing the Solaris/UNIX thing since 1995, before
that I was a hardcore VMS hax0r.  The first web server I ever set up
is still up - http://mercur.usao.edu. 8-) (VAX/VMS, even, back when
people thought "you have to have a Sun box to have a web server.." and
I was like "uhh, no" and setup one on the campus mini as a summer
independent study project... goofed off for 4 weeks, did the work in
one week, and got five hours credit for it...)
