But I first played with an Apple ][ in the 3rd grade. It took quite some time to load Integer Basic from the Cassette Drive and then we were programming "Hello" like crazy. Wizardry, Ulitima, ASCII Star Trek, wheee! Basic then Assembly then Pascal. Now I'm mostly Perl and PHP.

projector storage closet, where there was an Apple ][+ on a cart...

I had an odd childhood. :P
