Hmm, I'm not so young myself, but I waited until '95 (year & Win distro) 
before I got involved with computers. My only regret was not having got 
involved with *nix earlier. I think we do have it easier now (thank 
goodness). I didn't own my own computer even till last year - so far I reckon 
I've spent about 70 quid on it (including software :-) and it's all legal and 
MINE! (except for the borrowed bits of hardware). Linux has made grown-up 
computing available for the masses. I'm grateful for that.

cheers
