Your oldest computer experience

When did you first get into the fantabulous world of computers? What was your first very own computer?

My first computer was a Commodore 64, which is broken now, but i remember playing California Games and Rollaround on it with my father in the early 90s. Good times.

First compy used: Apple ][+, 1977, at school.  (born in '71.)  Favorite games: pacman and sabotage.  I learned Integer Basic, Applesoft Basic, and a handful of ML through monitor.  Extremely fun to hack, and educational.

First compy owned: Commodore 64, 1986.  Two disk drives, joystick, mouse, GEOS, loads of games, a few compilers... later got a 1581 disk drive, geoPublish, and GEOS compilers.  Incredibly fun to use and program.

Worst compy owned: anything with Windows (five PCs: 8088, 386, 486, K6-II, Celeron, Celeron.  1986-2005).  Buggier than even my worst Basic spaghetti code, capable of making a 1 GHz PC slower than a 1 MHz C64, and needs too much time, money, and effort to make as capable.  No fun to use at all, impossible to write good programs on.

In all the days I use my C64, not a day goes by that I don't *swear* by it.  In all the days I use a Windows PC, not a day goes by that I don't swear *at* it.
