Linus Torvalds, widely known as the creator of Linux, made his first post to Usenet (the early equivalent of Internet forums) in January of 1991. Then only 21 years old Linus reports purchasing a new 'fine' computer (386,33 MHz), which was likely the same computer that he used for coding the initial version of the Linux kernel, announced only 3 months after this post.
