  1. Autistic, intellectual disability and with congenital rubella, and yet, I learned how to manipulate a computer when my late father bought his first in the early 90's. A Dos based Packard Bell Legend 386 SX, so a cut down variant of the DX version and he managed to upgrade it to Windows 3.1 at minimum. Today, I run a 7th gen i5 desktop (dell Optiplex) and an 8th gen i5 Dell Latitude laptop and got it to network together at 58/59. I plan on building a newer i7, 13th gen desktop (ATX) desktop this year. Not my first, built an older AMD Athlon 800 based desktop in 2002 or so with 512 MB of RAM (the shniz at the time), bought the MD/processor/memory all barely used second hand from a friend that decided to do a major upgrade. So these days, I zip files via the ether (WiFi) between the desktop and laptop (both Win 11) and can edit videos, use a DAW etc. So while I may be 59, I don't consider myself all that old in comparison to some folks, neurodiveristy be damned.
