I was so lucky. My dad used to work at Apple in the 80s so we pretty much got every model since the Apple ][+ at home.
Can't remember this too well but I think I started with a ][+ with 2 floppy drives, a Silentype (thermal!) printer and Monitor ///, paddles, joystick, Apple's Graphical Tablet.
And tons and tons of software. Everybody copied. There was no internet, so there was a lot of borrowing and copying of floppy disks.
Learned to program in Basic, 6502, Logo. A little bit with UCSD Pascal. I was a kid and more interested in Captain Goodnight, Karateka and all the wonderful text adventures that I could barely understand in English.
Good times. Maybe time to fire up an emulator and see how much I remember.
