nope. married in 92, first one i actually owned was in 95.

now, i did build some in 7th and 8th grade, as well as in HS but the school owned them. does that count? i also had gfs at the time, so i guess its a moot point.

Never had a GF but built many PCs in my 30 year life.

Just bein' honest. Stereotypical geek here.

When I built my first computer, I was rooming with 2 girls. And no, they weren't related to me.

It is quite funny how in the past, computer geeks couldn't get laid, and now you practically need one to get laid...or is that just me :0

Had my first real GF in junior high school, and built my first PC when I was in high school. I swapped out parts and worked with computers prior to my 1st GF, but not before my 1st actual PC build.

Not sure of the relevance of the question though. Geeks have no problems getting laid these days.

I took apart and rebuilt the family's 286 when I was 8...then, several years later, I built my first computer from scratch...it was a Pentium 3.
