Honestly, the best "should I date this person" heuristic for people under 50 is "do you remember using the same version of Windows in your childhood"

If you don't rermember using Windows 3.11 or at least Windows 95 or 98, you are probably too young for me. Alternatively, if you remember using Windows 1.0, you're probably way too old for me, and also, why were you using Windows 1.0.

@Elizafox bad choice of heuristic, ask any autistic tech person about windows 95 and they might know what compile flags they used for watson in the like one of the chigaco beta builds

i used to play with windows 98 se running off freedos running off a
dying okaidi 256MB flash usb drive thats like metal but like enclosed in this really sticky blue rubber that i used to carved into words using a compass (drawing tool)

@illyBytes Childhood. No one under 30 was running Chicago on their PC when they were 8.

@illyBytes My first version of Windows was 3.1 incidentally, although I guess technically some Windows 2.0 machines were around in schools I used, but they were already very old by this point.

My first computer at home ran Windows 3.11 actually. It was given to me by a teacher.

@illyBytes Yeah, I'm an antique. :P

Schools didn't even
have Internet when I was a kid. When the library got Internet it was a huge deal.

I remember when people started getting Internet, and also cellphones. But then again I remember pagers.

And I lived in a fairly urban area. In the US that mattered a great deal, because rural areas didn't get these things until years later.
