95 here. Started with the original GameBoy and an old Macintosh in the basement. My first computer was a POS gateway with the cow logo and 128MB of RAM. Finished up high school with the Xbox 360 and an iPhone. I'm a retrogrouch to Gen Z and some kind of hacker to most Millenials. My GF (same age) and I jokingly call ourselves "MillenialZ" (with an obnoxious accentuated zzzzzz at the end) because we don't quite fit in with either generation.
I love it. I think that should be the official title for our mini generation.
