The 20's also seem to be the range which most often volunteer their age, and also seem to want to find others in the same age range. I figure if you develop a friendship with someone and enjoy talking with them, then age doesn't really matter. Over time there will be references that may give you hints of their general age. I suppose if one is looking for an intimate relationship that would move to RL, more concern about age might be warranted ... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clover Jinx Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Yeah this is why I answered as vaguely truthful as I could. I didn't have the time to play with him like prey and was hoping my answers were not what he was looking for. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then, those of us that are a bit older, would still usually wait at least a bit before asking such questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad had me input programs at his office to teach me multiplication tables and play tic tac toe. I think they probably cost US$15k or so. I haven’t found pictures of those first units. This would have been maybe 75-76. P.S. For a gal, that’s a nice wang. Edited February 22, 2018 by Love Zhaoying 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or it might be the person was an unevolved relic from the old "A/S/L" days; either way the answer is pretty much "nunya". I think this was the first computer I actually had my hands on (although only to play text games). The awesome Commodore 64. It belonged to a friend; he didn't have the joysticks or that extra floppy drive, just the single-sided one on the top: 180K scintillating bytes of information. It's where I first saw the words, "It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue." Edited February 23, 2018 by Dillon Levenque 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from the HP I posted about (no screen), I got to use another (with screen and CPU) before 78, then nothing until Apple IIc in 82-84. Didn’t get my own until 84, C-64.

Ah yes, the good old chat rooms where they constantly asked that. Some of them couldn't seem to actually maintain a conversation about anything else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used a Burroughs desk computer in 1972 -- the computer was built into the desk with a keyboard, paper feed, and the blinkenlights on top. I learned to program in assembly on it. I used some S100 bus CP/M machines and an Apple II in the late 1970s, then bought an IBM PC in 1981. I could build a really sweet computer now for what I paid for that thing. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

READ people READ!!!!!! I just HATE repeating what´s in there... ffsit took ages to fill it out and keep it up to date... but them effers just don´t care... so if I´m not REALLY bored (and not ticked off because of it yet) I´ll answer, though at times that´s the point where I start to play them starting with "hm now... well... what do my profiles say how old I am and where I´m from...roughly...hm?^^" If they ***** at me I´ll start to claw them slightly asking why it would be my fault if they don´t read the given info to avoid this along with the hint that I don´t like messages like that 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
