    I started out with Basic on a computer sporting MS DOS, a Pentium 75 and 16 mb ram! Then I continued down the rabbit hole and discovered HTML and that led to the newly invented JavaScript and here I am today programming full time. I can’t believe it’s only 10 years ago I started out in the 90’s. Right? Guys?

      Mine was a Timex Sinclair. You got to each of the Basic keywords by hitting a function key and then one of the other keys, which actually helped because you could see them all. And, since I didn’t have any external storage, I got lots of practice writing them.
