I became interested in programming at the age of 5. My father bought a ti-99/4a computer and I would spend hours typing in lines of code to do what today would be extremely simple, like making a dot bounce around the screen. My father worked at Digital Equipment Corporation and I was lucky enough to go to work with him every now and then and even change out some RAM boards that were enormous and very sensitive to static... We bought a modem that was 1200 baud and took hours to download simple things like a document or picture. Everything I learned was out of a book since the internet had barely started, but I was able to write enough code to get it to play happy birthday.
