Sounds like we're the same age as well. I started my board when I was 15 or
16 though.

It's the opposite for me. My Mom has an iPhone, iPad & laptop today and has
pretty much always enjoyed technology. Back when I lived at home I had
networked my BBS PC w/ the family PC (a 10 meg coax connection) so we could
play a game of Age of Empires against each other.
To this day my Dad still doesn't have a computer, cell phone or even call
display on his landline.
