56 years old. Started dirt fishing May 2014. Actually bought a detector 3 years prior but it just sat until the urge to detect struck again. The 1st Army computer I worked with had a 286 processor, a Zenith 286 Super Sport monochrome laptop, 640k of memory and a 20 mb hd back in lat 1992 . My first PC was a Packard Bell 486SX with 4 mg of ram and a 120 mb hd (present for the family back at Christmas 1993) . $1500 for the computer, monitor, and a color dot matrix printer. Even had my 3 year old son able to start the system in Dos so he could have enough memory to play the games of the day. Used it for a little over a year before I went to a computer show and spent about $600 on all the components needed & then paid a retired Navy Nuke guy to show me how to build the Pentium 133 system, 8 meg ram and 1.2 gig hd. As a hobby for a few years I bought and sold computer components on ebay, built cheap systems for the locals and friends, and also did repairs.
