  • My introduction to the world of computers was back in the late 80s when my stepdad brought home a Pravetz 8D. It was an 8-bit Oric clone made in Bulgaria. It hooked up to our TV and we had a cassette deck to load/save data. I was 13 or 14 at the time living in Ukraine. Playing games and learning BASIC on it got me interested in coding and started me on the path to a now 30+ year career in IT. Technically it wasn’t mine though.

    After we emigrated to the USA in the early 90s I went to college to continue studying programming. With my very first paycheck from a part-time job I bought my very own first PC. It was a 486DX2-66 with a ginormous 40 megabyte hard drive.




  • I’d recommend release order because there are callbacks and crossovers, cameos, etc. that tie these shows together. You could watch the in any order, but you’d get more enjoyment out of picking up all the references and easter eggs. So, TOS -> (maybe TAS) -> movies 1 through 6 -> TNG -> movie 7 -> DS9 -> VOY -> movies 8 through 10 -> ENT. Then modern stuff like DSC, SNW, PIC, Prodigy, and LD.

    That said, there’s no need to watch every single episode of every show. Back on Reddit there were guides of “essential” episodes for each season of every series. Here’s one for TNG. I’m sure you could find this for other shows too.
