  • Period: to

    Lifespan

    This is how long I've lived so far!
  • First Time Using a Calculator

    I was in 2nd Grade when I used a calculator for the first time. I remember getting very frusterated with the new "toy". This was because I could type in any number I wanted but I was only allowed to have ONE period per line. I thought to myself that if I were to make calculators I would let someone put in as many periods as they wanted.... Of course now I know why you can't but it made sense to me at the time!
  • My First Computer

    It was a Power Macintosh 4400. It didn't have internet, and it had 4-5 games. My favorite was Power Pete!
  • First Home Internet Connection

    We finally got the internet in our house in 2002. It was America Online and was pretty slow! Also it made some great sounds: SHHHHHHHhhhhhhh HAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaa ERR ERR KEEEEEEEE ShhhhhhhhHAAAAAAAA
  • First PC Home Computer

    After using Macintosh for years, my parents decided to buy a new computer for the family for Christmas. It was a Windows Inpiron 5500 and It soon became my best friend.
  • First High Speed Home Internet

    After a few months of getting kicked off AOL because someone picked up the phone, my Dad and Mom finally decided we needed high speed internet. This was the beginning of the end...
  • First Cell Phone

    It was a prepaid Trak-Phone flip phone and I thought it was so cool. 200 minutes lasted me an entire year back then!!
  • First Laptop

    I had saved for about a year to buy my own laptop. On my birthday I finally got it!
