I got my first PC in about 1990 I think. It had a Pentium chip! Way-hay! I’d worked at IBM for a while, so I knew what a real computer looked like. (I wasn’t a computer nerd there. I worked in the drawing office.) I’d had little computers before that, of course, starting with an Acorn Electron in the mid 1980s and graduating to a BBC “B.” Never got beyond programming in BBC BASIC but it was fun while it lasted. I think my biggest achievement was programming the theme tune to “Chariots of Fire” note by tedious note, and then making a little animated graphic of the Olympic rings and a flickering flame.
