Thanks @torrey.blog for entering this piece into the @averageoutsider writing contest.

My first computer was a 'used' 3.1 as well...(An IBM clone)

Nice! Those were good times, just before we got our first 56K modem. I think we signed up for AOL subscription from one of those millions of direct mail CD’s, which are now sitting in landfills everywhere.

Thanks for writing this, so much enjoyed reading it, and it wasn't only interesting, it was well written! It is incredible to think how people around us affect our lives, how we affect their lives, and like you wrote, how thinks happening in our childhood affects our lives as adults.

@siggiboy81 thank you for your positive feedback. I wrote this for this week's @averageoutsider writing contest. I am hoping it is selected as a winner or honorable mention.

Wish you all the best and good luck!

Wow, I haven't even heard about Steem Basic Income before now, but just did a quick search and now I know more about what it is... Thanks a lot for your help, support, and great words! :)
