Mine was either the Trash-80, or the Vic-20; I don't remember which came first. The TRS was at school, and the Commodore at home. The Vic-20 had 5K RAM, and I fondly remember when we got a 16K expander cartridge (along with the inevitable 'What will I do with all that memory?') The first thing I remember writing was a scrolling adventure, where I created an Olde English font pixel by pixel by hacking directly into its core memory. (I'm sure I wrote practice stuff before that, but this is what, 30 years ago?)

My father later gave me a CCP/M with a washing machine 8" floppy drive from his office; the computer may have been older than the others, but I really have no idea anymore. I wrote a text-based Star Wars game, complete with X-Wing fighters and light sabers using DataStar on that computer.

I started programming on my first computer; a Tandy 1000 from Radio Shack. Assembly was so much easier on the 8088 processor. Ahh, the good ol' days.

C9 was RET. I forgot the rest. It was so long ago.
