Comment VIC20 and Apple ][ (Score 1) 623
Started on a VIC20 with Compute! magazine. Got a job a chicken joint when I just turned 16 and the owner had an Apple ][ in the back; he was paying Robotwar and looking for an opponent. Learn to program the Robotwar bots. That led me to take a course in programming at high school on Apple ][e. Still program today: iPhone apps and Arduino.
