One day when I was 7 or 8 I just couldn't take it anymore. "Command Prompt" looked like the thing I wanted most out of the computer. Screw the games, I need to know what this thing does.
So I clicked it I guess I saw the MOTD or whatever, saying to run "help" command. I ran it, started reading, started messing around with it.
Soon enough I had made a "chatbot" using nothing but GOTO statements. It had many branching paths, but the conversations were completely pre-determined. Like "Hello, what is your name?", "bob", "Hello bob, how are you today", "not good", "I'm sorry to heard that"

Then I got an Ohio Scientific Superboard. I really really needed to know how these things do what they do. Now I know. Sort of. It has gotten mucho more complex since then.
