Iām 67. I play with my 9 year old grandson. I also take him fishing, play catch (baseball), and throw the football around with him. Just ordered a basketball goal so he can practice shooting baskets. Iād rather play WoW all the time, but I donāt want to turn him into a couch potato like Papaw! I started WoW when it originated. I had been playing Warcraft 2 with my brother and a friend. We thought we were pretty good until we played against my nephew. He destroyed us! Blasted teenagers! I am looking forward to classic!

My dad rode Harleys until he was 72. He would have continued, but he decided to trim some branches. Fell 20 feet off a ladder onto his head. Resulting brain damage moved him slowly into dementia and he passed 2 years later. If he hadnāt hurt himself, who knows how long he would have been riding? My mother also rode with him and had her own Harley. They ran the Harley meet circuit. Daddy had a long gray beard and braid. He looked like one of the ZZ Top guys! I miss him. Quite a man.

Exactly. My first video game console. The Magnovox Odyssey with wired rifles and multiple overlays for your TV screen.
Amiga 500 but I owned one of the 1st copies of the Timex Sinclair.
Pshhā¦ all you Commie usersā¦ Atari 1200XL, upgraded RAM with Rambo XL to a whopping 256k. Ran a BBS with my 300 baud modem and 4 1050 floppy drivesā¦ on my parents house phoneā¦

āOnlyā 52 in a few weeks. Feel like a spring chicken in here.
Atari 400/800, we loaded games from a cassette tape recorder.
But I personally started at one of the first MECC terminals in Kenyon MN, dying of dysentery on a MECC teletype terminal around 3rd-4th grade.

Started with the Atari as well, then had the Radio Shack system until I got an 80286. Had to buy 36 ICās to upgrade my RAM from 512k to 1M. Added a math co-processor to speed the system up to run my 24 line Wildcat BBS. Used a Unix system to handle the connections and token ring to make it work.
