For me, it was the commodore 64... waiting for games to load off tape took too long, so I ended up picking up the C64 Basic manual and read though it. It had a load of code samples, so after the game loaded and after i got board, i ended up writing and playing with the code samples. few years later, i got a "proper" PC, got a copy of Borland Delphi on the front of a magazine, and started developing Windows apps there. Then on to C++, VB, VB.NET and now C#... so... waiting times got me into it!
