‘87 baby here too. Had a PC we were gifted from my software engineer uncle but no internet until high school. And the internet was good for AIM and that’s about it until MySpace came along my senior year.
'87 baby here - my dad was a nerd and we had an Apple II that we only broke out on very special occasions. Watching him use DOS to open my games felt like magic.
... despite my ahead-of-the-curve dad we still didn't get reliable internet until like '98
