My Dad (boomer) saw it coming a mile away. He got us a Tandy 1000 in the mid 80s. I was still in elementary school, don't remember which grade, I was pretty young. We played the shite out of some 5.25 floppy disk games and learned the ins and outs of DOS on that thing.
I don't really recall the year we got a computer that had a modem. It was pretty early as well. He taught us to use it to access local terminals. I messed around with calling local BBS and MUD games well before ISPs were popular/rise of AOL. My first computer pr0n was found calling local boxes, he should of supervised us better.
We never had AOL, I can't remember the first ISP we had, we had a few over the years trying to get more hours for less money. Disappointed I never really got to enjoy AOL chat rooms when they were hookup central.

It had a stigma back then. Nothing like the norm today, but AOL was the late 90s tinder. I always say that I wish I had something like Tinder back in the day when I was partying and younger, but I guess I sort of did.
