Around 1980 my Dad was taking computer science at the local university and he took me to the terminal lab and showed me the mainframe.
We played some BASIC games on the mainframe. I was around 5 years old. I discovered an Apple II buried in the corner of the library at my school and I was the only person who used it! Then a family friend bought a VIC-20 and I was totally enchanted by it.
My parents bought a Timex Sinclair 1000 and I typed in games from books into it, then a Tandy MC-10, Commodore 64, Atari 130XE and finally an Atari ST. That was 1988.
It's fascinating to think back at how much happened during those 8 years, computer-wise...
