Hahaha, much better.How about I translate?
Me old . . . Computer big shiny box (big as a car) when me learn to program, no fancy schmancy graphics based stuff!
But you know, the computers I used in high school were no fancy boxes. I remember them running Windows 98 and people talking about the new Windows release (XP) that needed so many more system resources. I even remember arguing with someone (this part probably doesn't surprise you though, haha) about XP's unnecessary bloat and eye-candy (what do you mean "green start button"? That looks like a child's operating system with all that colour!).
This also when I took an interest in Linux. I had to engage in some negotiation with my teacher to let me use the school's computers to download the three cd images that comprised Red Hat 9 because I still had dial-up at home.
I have this sudden urge to code something in Basic right now...
