I went to my first sf Con in '75 and war game convention in '76. Play Red box, 1st, 2nd and 3 ed rule DnD. I even still have the hand written character sheet of my 1st mage, rolled in 76. Jonwin has me beat though as that war gaming convention was his and a friend's idea, so while I was fighting off gamers in the dealer's room
(Dealer's room was in the Glass Pavilion, but only a ivy league nerd would know where it is.) Jonwin was busy GM'ing various games.
The HP 35 and 45 I used for math were my dad's as was the first mini computer he let me use. I was the only nerd at
MICA, it seems for I had to help my class mates learn Scientific Notation during our nature drawing studio class.
I love Steve Jackson games, specially
Munchkins. Also know most of the folks that work at
Looney_Labs. Off course I posting this off my fifth home built computer. And about to load LOTRO to meet up with guild mates from
NWN.
I do pwn Jonwin on computers, as he didn't have a modem on his used 486,when we met. His next computer was one of my hand-me-downs. All upgrades have been done with my help, since the guy he had built his current computer, wasn't a gamer.
