There are plenty. I built a Pentium II on a SCSI board from scratch in 1995. 9 gig 10,000rpm SCSI Cheetah HDs. It was the shit. I was 29.

Still runs. Windows 98 is on it. Lost count of how many builds total.

I knew it wasn't the best example to use. But I tried to avoid using anything Internet- or cell phone-related, since those technologies are most strongly associated with Millennials and Zoomers.

GenX really is the master race; what else can I say?

Pffft.

You ain't a GenXer unless you have searched through a whole box of 300A Celerons to find the correct foundry to flog like a rented donkey.

ETA: Spent a whole student loan "refund" check on a 300A, 512mb DDR, Matrox Millennium card.  19" CRT from CompUSA...lol

I happen to like my Millennial boss, she's pretty squared away.  The feelz get pretty overwhelming sometimes though.  

I work with a bunch of them, and a few fellow Xers.  I think of myself as the beacon of cynicism in the darkness of their enlightenment.

Late Xer, took a typing class (on a typewriter) my sophomore year of HS. Type 45 or so wpm, no looking, other than initial finger placement for my left hand.  

I lost feeling in my left index finger last year because I’m stupid and cut a nerve.

Almost right there with ya.  

My boomer mom is vax agnostic and only concerned about her on status.

Dad and stepmom boomers, older brother GenX, little sister Millennial all Branch Covidians and Covid Witnesses and want to speak with you about the Word of their Savior Fauxi.  

Hence forth I decree my brother be identified as a boomer.

Hah, GenX demoted to Boomer. Ouch.

Pretty sure my Mom does whatever my Dad says including who to vote for. She did show a little anger at having to get a negative test for travel after their 2 shots and a booster nonsense. My Dad proudly shows off his vaxx card and posts pictures of kids lining up to get the Polio shot back in the day as if it's the same thing.
