Pretty sure Elon hides on this board at this point.

Actually 1967 makes me a Gen-Xer, I think. Got my first Apple computer in 1986. I could word process and play Where in the world is Carmen San Diego. Got my first pc in 1996. Came with a tower and dial up capabilities. Had an AOL account and e-mail...woohoo! But I missed out on basic Fortran classes in high school so the whole computer language is mostly lost on me. Of course I can use programs now...hard not to in today's age but I know very little about what goes on behind the scenes of computer programming. My millennial offspring have also taught me a lot.
Also a 67Xer...I did take "Computer Math" in HS. First job out of college, I had a lot of responsibility for user support. I could not program, but the little bit of knowledge I got allowed me to be able to look and get the gist of things based upon what the software was supposed to do.
I also remember Macs in college going for about $2500 in the bookstore. I think there was one guy in my dorm that had one. That was a lot of money- per inflation calculator, about $6770 today. More than tuition and room and board for a year. Hell, I had a used Pontiac LeMans that was about seven years old that was only $800.
