First computer I ever programmed: 1970, in 7th grade math class, after school. It was a big deal -- actually having access to a computer! It wasn't a "personal computer" for us, because our school had just the one machine, and for only a few weeks before it moved on to another school in the county. (This was a public school.) The only thing I can remember is figuring out a set of instructions that would cause it to infinitely and continuously keep inputting the slide-in card. Nobody else thought that was cool. :-)
