My first "computer class" in grade school was basically 45 minutes of game playing. Of course we played Oregon Trail, and another game (I can't remember the name) that involved going through a haunted house. I didn't even get my first email address until college - 1998.

I had only heard of Oregon Trail from my wife, but we were with a group of Americans/Canadians her age and they all knew about it! A "generational" thing, maybe (even though I'm only two years older)? Or did I just miss out? Nice vid, Josh.
