I was given my first computer, an Amiga A600, at aged 8 by my awesome Uncle Tim. I’ve not stopped messing with computers in the 35+ years since.
I was lucky to grow up in what has to be the golden age of tech - born pre-internet but immersed in it as a teenager. I was excited to grow up as tech bounded on every year - I never had the best (I remember being very jealous remember the kid in my village with an A1200)
