Comments by "Chris Nilsson" (@GenerationX1984) on "1995 Flashback: First-time PC user can’t work computer" video.
We had home computers way back in the '80s. If you were using a computer for the first time in 1995 you were late to the party.

@eskerbth8266 My family was poor but my dad still owned a TI99a computer. That's pretty much the oldest computer ever! So old. Haha!

@eskerbth8266 That computer was actually older than I am. That computer would be pushing 40 if it was still around and kicking.

@eskerbth8266 I suppose. But almost everybody had Windows DOS or Apple by 1993. Every kid in the '90s played Oregon Trail in computer lab at school. Apple had a deal with public schools. That's how Apple stayed in business. 1995 was late to learn how to use a computer by about 2 or 3 years at least. They had Sesame Street episodes that taught kids how to use computers that predate 1995. Windows 95 seems old now but it wasn't back in the day. It was unusual for somebody who wasn't your grandma to not know how to use a computer in 1995. Everybody owned one by then.

@eskerbth8266 Well... Almost everybody it seemed.
