I was going to 8th grade.

  As was I. Y'know, I didn't even realize there was a bubble until after it had burst. I spent my time teaching myself HTML and toying around with Photoshop 6. I also did an insignificant amount of PHP around 2001 -- mostly tweaking existing scripts to try and get them to do what I wanted (I used to get grounded for spending too much time on the computer and slacking at school; now I get paid a nice salary for "playing on the computer" :). It was another year or two until I really started programming.

    Didn't realize that there was a bubble either. Going into 3rd grade or so, didn't really start programming either, unfortunately. I think I was just messing around with a copy of Visual Basic 6 I received from a book.

    Another nod for someone who had no idea what was going on in in the tech world. I was in 6th grade, honing my skills in TI-BASIC.

  Reminds me of coming across a guy who mentioned that he was in kindergarten when Kurt Cobain killed himself... Jesus Christ, it was forteen years ago, and seems like yesterday. I'm getting old...
