I was eight. This was about a year after my family getting a PC running MS-DOS (maybe Windows at that point, don't remember), so I had probably just discovered QBasic. I was thus adding to the biggest lump of unrelated elements that I have ever piled into a single piece of software. All in one file, of course, and with no proper subroutines (the one book my public library had about BASIC was older than subroutines were, though I did know about GOSUB). I remember being incredibly happy upon discovering the labeled GOTO, because it was so much easier than having to number all the lines. Meanwhile, people at CERN were building the very foundation of what my livelihood would one day be.
