Could be... just looked in my computer history file, and my first editing computer was a pre-built Alienware that I bought January 2002 with a bundled Pinnacle DV500 capture card and the OLD Premiere 6 (really old... not CS6)
I joined the Adobe forums soon after my computer was delivered... and I've had the same email address and Adobe account since then
