I see.. I almost bought a Commodore 64 as my fist computer but just
before I did I ran into an old friend who told me I could buy parts
to build an Apple II Clone computer for about half the price, so I
ended up actually building my very first computer.. (1983)
This was before I'd ever touched a computer. I knew I wanted to
get into them but hadn't had the chance yet.

I even made a point of not buying a Floppy Drive at first so that
I wouldn't get involved playing games and such before learning the
computer inside-out and how to write software. I had a tape drive
on it to save any programs I wrote and, if I wanted to play games,
I had to write them myself, sometimes from scratch and sometimes
I'd buy a book with a program in it to copy out and, once I got it
running, I usually found ways to make my version work better than
the original..   B)
