Me too:

ages 8-15: lots of great 8-bit computer fun.

ages 15-20: girls, booze, motorcycles.

20 onwards: get a PC, back to computers, realize how much I've been missing.

To be honest, judging by my own kids and their friends, late teens seem to generally be an era of hard to avoid stupidity.

If your focus on girls, booze, and motorcycles ends at 20 years old that's a pretty good sign.
