The first computer I used and programmed was a PDP-1 in high school. I tried to program Mad Libs on it with paper tape. The first computer I owned was a Timex Sinclair 1000. I tried to program word search puzzles on it.

2017-08-24 16:04:57 +0000 UTCThe first computer I ever wrote a program on was my cousin's TI-99/4A, on which I wrote a program to play the Imperial March from ESB while visiting him. So I asked for one and got one, just in time for TI to drop it as a product. Oh well. We replaced it with a Commodore 64 the next year and long story short I've been a sysadmin for nearly 30 years, so I'm sure it wasn't a big deal. :-)
