How long have you been on PCs for?

How long have you been on PCs for?

For me? About nine years.

This is not a thread to show off how long you've been and thinking you're god lol, just a thread to see how many years you people have been on computers. Yes, on computers!

Poll is ready lol.

BTW, my first poll in a while too!

Chris

if you mean gaming wise, i started playing pc games around when I was 11 or 12. I started playing df2, first pc game ever.

just being on one, i have been on computers since maybe the age of 7, and I am 18 now. so roughly 11 years. We had aol from around when it started and my dad made my brother(edge) and I accounts for aol. We only had the kids section but i used to go on there and browse for a couple hours at a time lol.

I started at four lol and now I'm 13.

This is a scary thing, but when I was about 4, I was using Windows 3.1, and for some reason (no crap), I actually created a folder on the desktop called ''StartUp''. Later on, when the computer was broken, we got Windows 98. I went to ''Start'' > ''Programs'' > and saw ''StartUp''...

I actually was so sure that Microsoft stole my bloody idea...
I also dunno why I thought of ''StartUp''; maybe I saw it somewhere on the desktop lol?

But na, Microsoft are just mind-readers.

Can't believe everyone voted for 8+ lol. Shoulda added more options but I didn't know NovaHQ was that ''PC extra extra experienced'' lol.
