who here never touched a computer till you bought it using your burger king paycheck. And is successfull, like owning a big program or making a good living off it?

i am pretty sure most of us in here either had thier family, friends, or government (welfare) pay for the computer and internet.

that was a nice story man, congrats on the success

El Mega · 02-28-2003, 12:48 PM

hmmph.

this thread really made me think for a minute.

i grew up in a rough neighborhood...
and it was dilapidated and crime ridden...
But never thought of it as the gutter.
I knew it could always be worse...
Like 3rd world countries our family's came from...etc.

I didn't have a computer and internet access till I "produced" one outta my surrounding schools and small businesses.

I'd really like to see who in this biz really came from low or no income situations, and really made it.
And aren't scheeming ass muthafuckas today.

still

I was homeless and in and out of jail for a few years in my late teens / early 20's.. booted out of the house etc. Got into computers because someone at a Church was nice enough to pull some strings to get me a job. Did well during the tech boom of the mid-90's and ended up becoming a network admin.. then I left that for porn 3 years ago.

Thanks. Whenever I'm sitting in some nice restaurant eating USDA prime and sipping expensive wine I always remember the time I feasted with my cellmates on top ramen mixed with doritos and sting cheese, cooked in a garbage bag with lukewarm jail shower water, one night in the old San Mateo County Jail.

Pretty funny!

Jer · 02-28-2003, 01:06 PM

My father bought the very best computer avaliable here in 1993 (386 + HP Laser Printer... can't remember the model, but it's still working and is the best one he got at his job) for $3000 with an loan from my uncle. We didn't have money to buy a floppy box... so we were buying floppies disk per disk

Before this the only computer I've touched was an MSX in school.

I started playing games and drawing in paint brush (win 3.1) and corel draw 3.0, playing with ms dos and stuff. My father was in a computer school and bought some books, so I just watched him using the programs and I started learning.

At home I have computers since 1995 I believe and internet since 1996. I started using Hot Dog at school in 1996, and there I made my very first HTML page.

The rest is history

I hear that!

Internet was very expensive in 1996/97/98. Some months I paid about $400 (ISP + phone bill).

And now some guys are bitching because ADSL is about $31 or trying to find cheaper ISPs than $8.50
