Dating

Yeah, the computer part was more of an addendum and kinda takes away from my original vibe. Back when I was dating, a woman with any kind of computer and she knows how to use it was rare. This generation raises girls (equally as well as boys) on tablets since they're old enough to hold one up. So these days, most young women at least know their way around a computer. But when I was in high school, most people only used computers in computer class. It was almost (if not exactly) a red flag to use one by choice. This was before the Worldwide Web went mainstream in 1994. My father always had computers, my whole life. I had computers myself since 1991 or 1992 (hand-me-downs from my father, but rather than trade/sell them, he'd just give me what he no longer needed).

There was one girl I got to bring up to my room, and I had a Super NES hooked up (also) to the monitor, and we were gonna play some Nintendo, but she saw the computer and was like "forget the Nintendo, I wanna see what that computer can do." We were too young to fool around/hook up, so that was never on the table, or an interest (at least for my part), but I remember thinking she was cool. Again, this was before Yahoo and IMDb and all the "old" websites. My computer wasn't online. Most peoples' computers weren't online.
