- chasil 4y agoThat's not really old. My IBM Model M keyboard is from 1985. That's probably the oldest piece of equipment that I actively use.
- bayindirh 4y agoOf course it's not that old, but considering 1992 is the year I started to play with computers as a kid, that's older than I expected, at least for me. I've used internet for the first time when the The Register became an online publication.
