    At 7yo my family got our first home computer. I had no idea how to use it properly, so I was constantly bricking OS on it which lead my father to constantly call in his friend to fix our computer. I bet constant ass whooping made me quickly learn how to undo my own mess. At 10yo I could reinstall win98 though floppy with NC

      Hey, this is how I learned the ins and outs of W95 / XP . Oops, bricked the main (and only) PC again, better fix that before parent finds out. Now where is that install CD?

      I started with windows 95, although we had a monochrome pc someone gave us, but couldn’t do much with it. Used floppy floppies, the big ones.

      I was ecstatic when we finally got a real pc, with 16bit colors!
