Did you find it easy? Did you feel it was a natural thing for you to do? Or did you think it was a high-tech thing it actually frightened you?

I first learn to use a computer back in 1980 and yes, I found it easy and yes again it just felt natural to me and no I've never fevered it.
Just so you know I have taught people to use computers and the first thing I tell them is it no different then working your microwave. Yes, it sounds a bit silly but it relaxes them more to learning about it.

Huh cannot remember the year but I has both a TRS 80 and a commodore 64 .. You had to save your programs on a cassette tape.
Later came my prized 286 where Bill Gates said
"512 K memory is all any computer will ever need"
Windows 3.0 WOW what a breakthrough
There was not the Internet but BBS.. You had a list of computers that you could dial into with your blazing 1200 baud modem.... wow.
I guess the year was in the 80's
Thanks for the flashback..

Back when the screen was black with orange lettering, and was about 8", I did some work on them.
When PCs first came about, at first they seemed to come from some alien planet. My brain hurt; but suddenly I got the gestalt of the whole thing and it became quite easy for me.

I must have been around 6 or 7. I'm 13 now and love computers and could help you with tons of problems. I think by just browsing around through it and finding the answer to problems. I am completely comfortable with computers and spend most of my time on them.

I loved computers from day one. My parents bought me my first computer in 1981 and I've been a computer junkie ever since. A professional programmer since 1991. As a kid I was very interested in math and science (in high school I was captain of the math team).

Around 20 years ago. It was frightening because people around me were already quite skilled at it. I learned to do Word, and eventually moved to powerpoint. Finally excel.

I took a keyboarding class in school to learn how to type when I was in eighth grade, and another one when I was in 11th. All the other stuff, like web browsing and using Word and other programs just came with time.

First couple of years of college. The era of the IMSAI 8080 and the Apple II.
