How did you first get into computers...

Okay, first computer you actually owned, in your own house. No business machines, home use only...

Me, the Apple IIE, which I used for 10 years, from Grade 8 right through university. Believe that in this day and age? Great machine for the time, cost over $2K at the time, if memory serves me correctly.

I used to mess around with the Commodore PET computers wayyy back in grade 7 about... ohh, a few years back. Mostly skipped outta English class to play space invaders on the damn thing, but I almost forgot about the tape cassetes to save things. After that, I had the Commodore 64 and had a shit-load of games for it. It's actually all collecting dust down in the basement right now.

Afraid I've got the record. Long before becoming a lawyer, while fresh out of college after military service, I was hired by IBM. That was June, 1956. My job was to sell punch card systems and such computers as existed.

Dang, you were actually selling that stuff , them heavy machineries !!?! You are indeed the oldest.
