Hello from Ohio!

[RetroComp95]

I am new to the 8 bit computing world but I am very excited for this project and to learn more! My first computing experience was Windows 2000 so forgive my ignorance lol

[wahsp]

Welcome! I think Windows may have been the first computing experience for more of us :). It is the first thing I can actively remember, at least.

What part of Ohio? I come from Central Ohio, but I went to school at Miami in the Southwest part of the state, and when I came back from a decade in Oz I lived for a while in Ravenna, just east of Akron and south of Cleveland.

I live in Southeastern Ohio, little place called Wilkesville. It's pretty close to Athens and about two hours from Columbus. In the sticks lol

Ah, yes ... Wilkseville I don't know, but Athens I've been in ... my late brother was a Bobcat, and before he ever set foot in Athens my high school band director was an Ohio University alum, so we did our marching band camp down in Athens. It was a little bit more than two hours Columbus back then, but I guess they've built up part of the road into an expressways since the last time I lived in Licking County.
