Ask me about that time I told people mixing bleach and vinegar is okay
I would often break Microsoft windows and then have to fix it.

Sometimes I would delete everything on the wrong hard drive (The one with the operating system) by selecting the wrong drive and try to recover the data because I had no backups. Trying to repair a boot partition or mbr with gparted or command line partition tools when the windows ones wouldn't work.

I caught the famous MSblast worm and when the removal tool couldn't get rid of my mutant variant I found the registry entries and removed the files in command line DOS by hand.
Removing them in windows would just have them reappear.

My family was handed down grandpa's apple ii and I grew up with that and windows 3.1 onward and know most basic Linux stuff up to almost installing Gentoo, raspberry pi stuff and now steam deck.

I took computer technology at a "tech center" in high school and some college on CCNA networking but I already knew most of it.

Hell I even built our 2nd Microsoft PC (that wasn't a hand me down) when I was like 7-9 years old

I've never worked in IT but I keep abreast of a lot of it and even the Linux thread in yospos.

TV commercials with a number you could text for awesome ringtones.
As a tech savvy millennial I never bought a ringtone when I could just use a ripped genesis BGM or something and use that instead.
