I remember my neighbour had an Apple II+ that he let me use all the time, so I would have been 4 then. The guy that lived in the basement apartment had a zx-81 and later a Commodore 64 and I programmed a couple of skiing games on the zx-81 before getting my first computer, a Tandy TDP-100, which is the same as the TRS-80 color computer 1 but with a white case. I would have been 6 years old I think? I remember it had a cassette interface and I was obsessed with mazes at the time and programmed it to generate new random ones for me. Later on I gutted the TDP-100 for parts a robot that could sketch stick figure drawings controlled from some program on an Amiga. Now that I think about it, I was a hell of a lot more productive when I was in public school than now.
