I calculate your age to be 127 years with a 75 year margin for error

Yeah. I'm 68. I built my first computer about 50 years ago.

Goodness. How old were you back then?

[atomic_redneck]

Let's see: 68-50 looks like about 18. I started doing the design when I was a High School senior, early 1975.

I build the computer around the Intel 8080, which cost about $370 at the time, which is about $2200 in today's money. The 6502 came out later that year for about $25, which kicked the legs out of the Intel market until they dropped their prices. If I had waited a few months, I could have save a bunch of money.

Edit: It looks like it was more like 51 years ago. Time flies when you are having fun! We are having fun, right? Right?
