My first interaction with a PC was in 1991. At that time everything with a screen was interesting to me. I typed off my favorite dinosaur story from a book (on my dads work notebook) because I thought it would be cool to have it digital.

I later wrote my first program in basic and was amazed by loop functions. New shareware games came on floppy disks through friends and flee markets. I loved gaming on the PC.

I saved up money for a few years to buy my first own cheap pc which I built myself and got sick because my computer didn't work because of mismatching cheap "vendorless" RAM pieces. Eventually i fixed it, learned stuff on the way and gained freedom with my own pc and explored the internet and modded some games (nothing serious, just learning stuff).

I drank Jolt Cola and even visited the german headquarters in Cologne. I did all kinds of experiments but mainly used the PC for gaming and internet in my teens. It was around that time that I knew I wanted to do stuff with computers my entire life.
