I'm probably the same age as you (started in 1982 on a Philips P2000) and feel the same. What wrecks me every time is the thought how many new things we discovered and did in a timespan of just a few years back then (the lifespan of various home computer models). Today, 10 years pass and all we really get is somewhat faster CPUs, slightly bigger memory, better graphics. And it's not worth it to discover any specific tricks for any platform (like you could on home computers to get more colors / bigger screen etc.).
