it seems me and my bro EXPERTNO.1 r very lucky. we got a computer in 2000. i did my PG DIPLOMA at age of 14 :mrgreen: and my bro EXPERTNO.1 completed the same course at age of 12. Though the certificate we got from that institute(institute was COMPUTER CITY CORPORATION) is not valid for us but its GREAT :mrgreen:

Seeing as everyone is reminiscing...I was I think 8 or 9 when my dad bought a 486 computer with MS-DOS on it. He used to let me play around in Wordstar or use Pacman, Prince of Persia, Paratrooper etc.

From there, I wasn't too interested in computers, until around 1998 when I discovered emails and chatting and things like that. From there, it all just snowballed and now its my life! :D

same here.

first time i opened the registry and i got my lost sims cd-key and since then, i play with registry a lot.

everyone in my school asks me for help and they consider me a tech genius. feels too great, teaching nutterheads. (heck, many in my class don't know what's registry;) ...many do not have the knowledge of directX:D)

i got my pc in class 6 and used to play road rash, cricket etc. till now, i use my pc mostly to play games.

Once, i fitted the ram wrong in my friend's computer and since, i have never touched the hardware myself. AFRAID.

i was 12 when i got my PC and started gaming heavily and by 13 i used win in quake 3 @ hardcore level !! ......and Age of empires 2 at hardest level 1 on 1 with the comp !



at 13 knew basic hacking !! and also apart from that i would successfully steal password from cybercafes using various techniques and use those connections !!

at 13 i could even assemble a PC with all jumper configs right in place and install windows successfully i did assemeble few PCs with my friend who was then in 12th ( me in 8th )


used to win all IT quizes at 13 and 14 !!
then when i was 14 i was got introduced to chatting on yahoo !!


at the same time i got bored of games:cool: and net and changed to studying also i had my first deep crush :D so no time for computers

scored 100 in math and science in 9th (14yrs) and 10th (15 yrs)
interests changed all of sudden.....was 100 km away from computer
my computer was never started from 2004 APRIL to 2006 MAY
sadly failed in IIT exams by a margin of few marks in boring chem all high marks in math and physics were or no use.....got mech at NIT surthkal but took Info Sci at bangalore's best college

now back to reclaim my kingdom.........!!

instead i should have played outdoor games and focused on other things !!

but anyway those days were great !! being a genius @ 13 yrs old and beating a 20yr CS students !!

now am so poor at computer.....so much has changed after 2003 when i stopped with my computer !!

and playing diablo 1 and 2 was a great thing....i really enjoyed those 2 games in 9th !! i still remember those holidays in 8th playing diablo



one advice to all 13 14 and 15 yr old...throw your computer out of the window and get a life



later u dont want to cry

motherboard replacing time .

meanwhile i got DIGIT that year in that digit provided demo version of prince of persia ww .from there i knew , that the gaming in PC is ot till snakes or minesweeper .

Surely agree with you PAL.. All the kiddies in this FORUM.. Seriously.. Get out of your room or wherever you spend time on computer for most part of the day and get a life. Remember Life is not Virtual, it's REAL.. You have loads of time later to fiddle around with those mother boards, RAM and CPU's

same here also. max and i are soo alike. i also got my pc in 6th and used to sit whole day on the pc. played The Sims continuously for 14-16 hours. spent all my summer vacation playing sims and other games.
Result - my percentages declined

Class 5 (no pc) - 87%
Class 6 (newly bought HCL Ezeebee) - 84.5%
Class 7 (addicted, spending way too much playing games) - 79.2%
Class 8 (addiction grew stronger, spent months playing games - also suffered from high fever during exams) - 74%
Class 9 (vowed to study seriously, but to no vain. got introduced to consoles and spent too much time on tech magazines, gaming addiction grew on) - 79.6%
Class 10 (once again vowed to throw my pc out of the window, but never succeeded. spending way too many hours on gamespot, ign etc.) - Currently Studying ago 1st unit exams were over and except hindi,english,s.sc. all went bad. fearing of failing in MATHS.

see, how a genius in studies turns a struggler for marks.

So guys, the moral of the story is PCs are more addictive than drugs;) They ruin one's life. So, let's start an ANTI-PC MOVEMENT FOR THOSE BELOW 15...:D :D :D

^^ +1 .............i think these kids shld realise that the outer life (outside the cabby ...and ur PC room) is far much better at this age. This is the age where a person learns to adjust to the outer world (through friends and pals), playing outdoor games leads to development of qualities like physical fitness, teamwork, positive attitude, competition and mental strength. Also there are certain extra curricular activities (....:D :D :D ....) which are far more entertaining and intrsting and teach management (time and money managament if multitasking :D )........................ so in short there is somethin for every type of kid out there ...and rem ..all these burnt motherboards and crashed hard disks can wait but teenage will never come back.....................

Hope u get my point (i am not that expressive in writing as i am verbally )

Hm.... I dunno about the performance in school, as I never suffered from it, but got my first PC when I was 8. It was a 286, and I used it for playing with WS and playing prince.

Then I got another one when I was 13 (as a present for doing well in scholarship exams), and all I did was play games. And finally I got a laptop as a gift again (for getting NTS).... So I don't think that using PC is the sole reason for poor acadamic (or less than average of an indivisual) performance.

I first used computer after my 12th exam that is nearly 17 years. And I had my first computer when I was in 3rd year in BE i.e. 20 years and I am still using it. You all guys seem to me to be very young and also very lucky to get to use computer so early. But I must say that you should look more into academics rather than computers. It is more important. You can always learn and use it during or after your graduation. Now a days when I am working I am usually 10 hours in front of computers and I am getting bored day by day for of using computers. And I have to use computers as it the requirement of being Software Engineer. So guys, do try to limit the use of computers and try hard on studies.
