Fine by me.
err, I think my answers ARE on a website. As for the old comps, I think the ZX8*s went into homemade robots, and I'm pretty sure I traded the others for hardware.
Sure, sheepdog. Thanks for asking, btw. :)

7. When you got a computer game for this first time, how did this affect how you worked and how your daily life? I played it all the time and my productivity just died.
A. Did you really work after you got the game? Not really, when I was working I was trying to figure out how I was going to get past this problem in the game right when I got home. I didn't really effect my work, it still was done, just not with the normal brain capacity that it would take.
B. Now that you look back at it, is the game really that good? Most definably.
8. Was the first computer you owned for work or home use? Home.
A. did you have games on it? Yes.
9. When you first got your computer game, did your friends look highly upon you? How did you feel about having this game? No, we were all gamers, we had our little gaming circle and we would just talk about games all the time. I didn't feel any different after owning this game, it was after playing it that I felt more close to being mature.

A.If so, why?
B. If not, why not? People aren't very commutative and everyone online has horrid grammar.
15. How does the news of a new and better computer games affect you? I love hearing about new games and hype, though I have learned that hype is just a way of a company paying off review sites to get you to buy their games.
A. Do you usally wait for a few months to get it, or do you buy it right away? I always wait for reviews, games are expensive and should be chosen with great caution.

A. What are some of the games you've made? I was on the "Tactical-Ops" team for awhile
B. Were they fun? For the most part, yes.

1. I was nine. The game? Number Maze on my dad's SE/30. It was relatively new at the time, and he'd soldered in a 256-color card.
2. Mac Classic II with an Uno card stuck in the floppy drive.
A. I was 12. I bought it from a family in Pullman Washington.
B. I played mostly Lode Runner, but with little bits of Continuum thrown in. God, but was that game fun! (do a google search for The Macintosh Garden, and find it there. I've gotten it working under Jaguar!)
3. The aforementioned Classic II, a Performa 460 (educational LC III) Power Mac 6100/66 with a 486 DOS Card, and my current G4/400, which has been upgraded a bit.
4. See above.
5. First was direct phone-dialing my friend for Warcraft II games. It didn't lag in the slightest.
6. Warcraft II. I loved that thing to death.
7. It certainly helped my social life. I met a lot of other gamers, and mercilessly slaughtered them with my army of Orcs.
A. Yes. Well, I was in school.
B. Oh. Hell. Yes.
8. Current G4/400
A. Yes
9. Heh, it was a bit old, but they tolerated it, and I enjoyed playing too much to complain.
10. Eh? I don't get it.
11. We're going back towards dumb terminals at light speed.
12. G6/16.7Ghz. Running OS X.5
13. Vendetta.
14. Yes.
A.They promote worldwide communication and in some cases cooperation.
15. I giggle like a little girl, and jump up and down.
A. I usually get it on the first day.
16. Nope, but I've made maps for games :P

Everyone doing research on any of a great many topics should know about http://citeseer.nj.nec.com. Even if you're only allowed one "internet resource" you can (and should anyway) just cite the journal that the articles are from.
