Hmm... let me see... I think I started around 12-13 as well. My first computer was a TRS-80 Model 1 followed by the Color Computer (I ended up getting the 1, 2 and 3 models). It was on the CoCo as it was called back then, that I learned how to program. Basic and later some 6809 ASM were my first languages. This was the early 80s. Years later I finally got a PC and crossed path with Turbo Pascal 3.0. No turning back at that point. Yep, indeed those were the days for sure.
