I’d trade my car repair skill for house repair, and my musical ability for math ability. Both of those are far more useful in life. Maybe also trade my computer ability for welding or woodworking.

    I’d trade 90’s computer skills for 90’s social skills. Because 90’s social skills are relevant today, while it’s been a while since I’ve had to resolve IRQ conflicts via jumpers. And switches no longer have a Chasey Lain daisy chain port thanks to multiplexing.

      I’m with you.

      I’ll trade my skill with DOS6.2 for the ability to fix my own car brakes. That’d be enough.

      I have a tangent related to 90’s social skills: I wish I had attended university before the high-speed internet era. We collectively replaced so much face-to-face interaction with stupid Flash games and scrolling ebaumsworld.
