My family got our first computer when I was 6 years old. It was a 4K ROM BASIC machine with cassette storage. It didn't come with any software. Instead it came with a book that taught some BASIC and then pages of program listings you were supposed to type in. That's all you could do with the early computers - program them. Now I have a career in software development.
