back through the years...

This task made me think a lot, made me recall and miss my childhood. But I guess that I am not the only one here.


It is so strange that the moment I opened the old, hidden photo album my head filled with memories of colors, scents and emotions. I recalled hours spent on playing, experiments done and things discovered. Because for me, childhood means a stage of discovering. I was a very inquiring child - I asked a lot of questions and always wanted to know "what", "how" "when"... and my personal favorite: "WHY".


But I was not alone in my voyage through new lands full of unknown natural forces, animals, gadgets and inventions - I was not alone in my discovery of the world - I had guides, my parents. They were patient enough to answer all my questions and to make me believe that it is possible to understand the complexity of the world around. And I guess I still have some of this inquisitivness left...


Oh gee, I got very sentimental and poetic. But the pictures here do not in any way fit this mood:) This is me, still young and beautiful, aged: 2 months, 2 and 3 years.

first CPU experience

hmmm, I think it was a long time ago, somewhere in the elementary school. In the second grade for my First Communion present (which seems more like a tradition among many of us) I got my first computer - brand new Amiga 1200:) I even remember it today, looked more like an extended keyboard with floppy disc drive at one side. And guess what, my first program to run on it was a very simple English course for children! Then of coure I had some games (hours spent on one where you had to control a kind of pad and a ball and using a ball destroy as many bricks as possible:) My first encounter with a magical machine, i.e. a real PC (a big beige box full of buttons and twinkling little lamps, that made a lot of noise and produced lots of heat:)) was during IT classes. I was taught how to turn on, operate and make use of it...and it all seemed like magic!:) and now, what would be our life without a computer...
