When I was 5, my dad bought a TRS-80 Model III. He bought several programming books and I'd pick out a program and he'd type it in for me. I made the connection that typing in programs equaled fun. Eventually, he found a book for me that had very simple programs and I start with my first print/loop program -- and I was hooked immediately. The programming became more entertaining than the game! I could control the computer. I loved it. And have continued to love the "game" ever since!
