After reading Carpetsmoker's reply (he replied before I could bang mine out) that I'd be remiss in not mentioning my previous BASIC experience. I started when I was 9 on what I think was a VAX/VMS system in a community college course one summer (talk about intimidating, everyone else was more than twice my age) and then used it on my TI-99 4/A, later on my Apple IIe, and finally on my first PC (an IBM PS/2).
Ah the good old days of BASIC... I really had a lot of fun with that language. It never helped me become a proffesional developer... but it kept my love of computers going, and so I guess it served me well.
