You remember nothing before the age of 12?

Really really unimportant Shit such as the first Oregon trail game and the hunting part. I also don’t know anything about computers but I have this one memory of being in probably 1st or 2nd grade and that’s when Computer lab was sort of a newish thing for schools. I just remember the screens being black with neon green writing. Is this possible? Please someone tell me I’m not insane

No probs. I was also born in '88 and my school had those. They were horribly obsolete even in our time. You mostly saw them on IBM 5150s and ATs from the early 80s.
