Biggest crush on Winona Ryder starting in high school, when Heathers came out.

Before that, Peter Weller inspired me as hard rocking neurologist, Buckaroo Banzai.

First programming was in Pascal on a Hydra machine (reel to reel computer stack serving 30 stations).

Retro is anything on a cartridge or tape. Disc based media is too new and space age to be retro.

I look almost the same as I did when I was twice as young as I am right now and I understand that during this decade I'll probably leave the age bracket where this is possible.

I was still a kid when my dad brought home a brand new Apple II. Before that computer appeared in his home office (and in my live, as I used that Apple so much more than he ever did ;)), I learned to type on my granddad's typewriter.
