We’re not dead yet.
I'm 40 and my first machine was a commodore sx64. I'm not old lol.
Your old in social media terms. Anyone over 35 is a literal dinosaur. I'm in the same boat.
Damn you kids and your newfangled RS232 connectors.
DIN and RS232 gang!

Thank you for actually calling it DE9!

Proud ex owner of an amiga 500, and amiga 2000...
Blew up quite a few Denise chips, iirc, with parents cables.
The 2000 had 2.5 megabytes, the 500 only 1megabyte, and it was fucking wonderful.
I now have 64gb and I still wonder if it's enough
I’m 8-track tape in my first car old.
Um Young kid is actually USB-C now and it's a mobile device 😆

I am 50 (going on 29) and remember connections other than these in devices like the Commodore 64.
That 5 pin DIN was on the older C64s for the AV port. I had a newer one as well and they switched to an 8 pin variant. C64s also used similar DIN connectors for the power supply and disk drive.
I remember my school getting our first PCs in the library around the time the Columbia went up the first time. We thought the future was then. Little did we know...
