I was about 9 and my dad brought home a Commodore-64. Every Saturday morning I would wake up to find some powdered doughnuts and chocolate milk waiting for me. I would type in and debug programs from "The Gazette" magazine. When they ran I was so excited. This was the only time I was allowed to eat an entire box of doughnuts in a day. We also had a VIC-20 after that sometime. Then a Tandy Color Computer. Schools had Apple II. When I reached 7th grade we had IBM PC's in a lab and then by 9th grade we had a full on Macintosh lab with various models.
