It's just about exactly 25 years that I got my first ever computer. From a place called "Time" (it no longer exists). 10Gb hard drive and had Windows 98 2nd edition on it. I didn't have a scooby how to do anything on it. But I managed to work out how to play Tomb Raider 2 (I'd already played Tomb Raider 1 on a PlayStation 1 that I had borrowed). Never went on the internet till about 3 months later in 1999.
