I'm 16 so i don't think i cna *really* compare to otehrs here but..

WOuld ahve been Apple2s in Britan, closely follwoed by Aple Quadras and LC2s (dad does digital video work - so i'm a mac person deep down) then about 6 years ago i used to 486, then a P-133, then got myself a P2-266 about 3 years ago now.....THe internet was the big thing i kep t hearing about without a clue what it was for *years* until i finally saw it in the local library....Only now (last year or so) i've learnt about all the old stuff, BBS (=p) and the like.....

Guess i'm kind of the same generation as your daughter - we work, play and communicate over the internet/computers. I spend more time talking to freinds over ICQ and the like than the phone, SMS, Mobiles, e-mail are all taken for granted in a swirling mass of 'infotainment' (god that almsot as bad as synergy) that is the depressing majority of youth culture. Were the most interconected generation yet - and imho, the most lonely and screwed up.
