    Mary I am not even in my 20's.
    Why am I on here? Autistic curiosity in such systems. It's neat.

    I am always super pumpted to hear that the youth of today are on BBSs' Welcome to the fold, Vinholdt!

    62! Got started in this "hobby" in 1985, gave it up in 96, then
    reaquired the taste for it in 2018!! Jeez..

    We got back the same year and such returns also remind me returning to old computing platforms. Like C64, as kid I had it less than a year and switched to Amiga which I had 3 years.. then PC which is also a number of experiences before I could consider from XP to now is more or less consistent if Windows but I'm on Mac since 2011 and that's my longest streak to stay with one platform that more or less is homogeneous.

    But I also came back to C64 with which I spent already more time than as a kid, same with Amiga (proud owner of A1200 since 2016 and still actively enjoying the damn thing).

    I only continually like Windows less and less. It works so I'm not that religious about it, but it's boring and it's getting people locked again!
