My first family computer was later than many of y'all's. It was a 386 that my dad had replaced with a 486 at his business. Specs were probably in the range of single digit MB of RAM and tens of MB of hard drive. I was 12. The very first thing I did with it was play a Sierra game called Hero's Quest on 4 floppy disks. I had to call my friend because I didn't even know how to start it. After that, I was hooked on computers.
Things I remember saying as tech progressed:
"A CPU that needs a fan has something wrong with it."

"Nobody will ever fill up a 1 GB hard drive."
"Nobody will ever fill up a 1 GB hard drive." haha, like gates saying '640K is more memory than anyone will ever need.'
Same here from cousin who said I'd never need more than 64k
