If you were over 40 before PCs were invented wouldn't that make you over 72 years old?

First PC invented: 1974
Age claimed at PC's invention: over 40
Current Year: 2006

2006-1974+40=72

Let me know how you go playing Half Life 2 on a linux box :crazy:

There are actually quite a few ways, I know some people who could help me play games that aren't meant to be run on Linux. But that's besides the point, it was my intention to get a second HDD, with Windows XP, just for gaming, nothing else. Besides, I have no intention whatsoever on playing half life.

Sorry, I had issues with the site on fridaym everythings ok now.
JF, I took a guess that PCs were first useful in around 89-90.
They may have been around before that, but not much use for the non-nerd.

1980. the IBM pc. That's pretty much the start of it - in UK anyway.
Big Blues Regions were targeted to move 1,000 units per month.
Compaq jumped in with some reverse engineering that wasn't and the whole thing quietly snowballed.
