All these newbies boasting about their early computers!
Our son's first computer was an Atari ST just like the one someone posted about. (And jolly good it was as well.)
My first programming experience was at university in 1966.... writing a program to work out the first 200 prime numbers. In ICL Machine code as far as I recall.
My first programming job was in 1968, writing intercode programs to run on a LEO III - a very direct descendant of the first ever commercial computer (LEO being an acronym for Lyons Electronic Office, and Lyons ran tea shops in the UK and spotted the need for computers to do their payroll). LEO III being, as far as I recall, the first version to have transistors and not valves!
I've even got some paper tape and some punched cards in my archives at home!
Ahhh, not boasting, just reminiscing...........my stepson's was a ZX Spectrum, same release year as the Atari.......according to Wiki anyway..........
