My first experience with NetWare was 2.x, oh the joys of building a networking 
floppy that differed from computer to computer depending on what NIC the 
machine had.  

My first home network was LANtastic on DOS.  Coax thin ethernet, never had to 
deal with Thick Ethernet.  I remember when Windows for Workgroups 3.11 was 
released with the express purpose of breaking LANtastic; that started my 
lifelong "love" for all things Microsoft.  

I got my first computer log-in in the fall of 1970, but I remember my dad 
having a 110-baud modem in the family room earlier than that ...

Yeah, and we carved our own ICs out of wood.  Using obsidian knives.
