At the supple age of three. So, that would make it 1993. Not many kids my age could use DOS back then...

1976, our high school had some simple main frame that used a keyboard display, no video. Looking back it was really weird.

In 1980, I went to work for the Daily News of Los Angeles. We had about 170 editorial terminals on DEC PDP 11-70s. When Tandy brought out the Model 100, the paper bought quite a few so reporters could write and file stories remotely. I trained on the M100 so I could help the writers transmit their stories. I learned to program in BASIC on an M100. In 1983, I bought a Seequa Chameleon "luggable" (27 pounds of steel and glass) that ran both DOS and CPM.

I was in 7th grade. We had to write computer programs using punch cards. If you screwed up, you had to tape over the holes. Our first home computer was a good old Commodore 64. I remember playing Zork with absolutely no graphics, but having a great time anyway.

I was 16 years old and a senior in high school.(1984)

I went to Programming School at a business college in Denver in 1978.

Early 80's. Started with the Apple II C's and E's in school(a friend had a GS, SEXY!). Apple BASIC and LOGO, some Fortran (I Think) and one other language that escapes me. It was also my introduction to Frogger and Spyhunter! Various friends with money had Sinclairs, TI/99's and all sorts of proprietary chiclet computers. I tried a Trash 80 and a CoCo in the local Radio Slack, Even then I thought they sucked @$$.

I think it was 87 or 88. Commodore 64 in Computer Programming class. We had to walk nineteen miles to school in those days, up the steepest mountain in Texas...
-
1980. We bought a Vic 20. It cost $250.00, a lot of money then.

That I can remember... 1985 or 1986 in computer class in high school.

In 1978, my father brought home this bulky, heavy machine from work. It was the size of a large suitcase, and had a screen on the front of it about 4 inches square. He was programming it for the company he worked for, and let us try out some on the programs, mostly little trivia games with multiple choice answers. Wow, hadn't thought of that in 20 years!!!!
-
About 89 but didn't go on line until about 93 or 94

1968 DEC PDP-8. It used paper tape to store programs written in basic. The Teletype terminal was attached. No floppy or other long term storage. Only paper tape.

We all sat in the basement and watched a little green blinking cursor for several hours. My Dad said that it was talking to another computer and that this was the wave of the future… We all thought that he was crazy and who would ever want to sit for hours watching something as boring as a watching a blinking cursor. And what could a computer possible “say” to another computer?….. This was in the early 80’s..

I attended a training course. Everyone new to computers should.
