Comment Basic, Pascal, Fortran and Lisp (Score 1) 633

In their order of learning, the very first was Basic v2.0, used a good 4 to 5 years, then inside the same year I learned: Turbo Pascal, Fortran and Lisp. Then thankfully, I turned away from the dark side of the force and ditched programming all together to switch toward systems and networking ;-)

Comment Sinclair ZX81 (Score 1) 857

My very first was a Sinclair ZX81, had the hardest time just to get it to display properly on my french TV set. No modem, no tape drive, nothing, just plain basic and a lot of fun !! Was not mine, just a loan from a friend who did not bite to the all personal computing thing. Switched to Oric Atmos 16 for a short time, then got my own personnal Comodore 64, 15'' COLOR display (man the price of that thing !!!) tape drive, and I hooked it up to an external 1200 baud modem... I think I never disconnected from the computer world since that moment ;-)
