Lucky you.
I would've liked to experienced the "rise of the machine" as it were.

My first programming was in BASIC on the Commodore 64 at home and the Apple II (and II GS) in school.

Never knew that the Atari 2600 had a programming cartridge, although I did have the console.

My first ever "Hello World" was in QBASIC.
I'm sure some of you remember that oldie.

Mine too

BASIC (Vic20) -> BASIC/some assembler (BBC model B (great UK computer)) -> Turbo Pascal (PC) -> C -> C++ (PC/yuk/not much) -> VB -> Delphi -> C# / PHP / etc

How to Shoot Yourself in the Foot

ASP
You try to shoot yourself in the foot, but the most advanced thing you can manage is to cut your wrist.

ASP.NET
Find a gun, it falls apart. Put it back together, it falls apart again. You try using the .GUN Framework, it falls apart. You stab yourself in the foot instead.

BASIC
Shoot self in foot with water pistol. On big systems, continue until entire lower body is waterlogged.

C#
You shoot yourself in the foot, but first have to switch to unsafe mode.

CSS
You shoot your right foot with one hand, then switch hands to shoot your left foot but you realize that the gun has turned into a banana.

HTML
You cut a bullethole in your foot with nothing more than a small penknife, but you realize that to make it look convincing, you need to be using Dreamweaver.

Javascript
You’ve perfected a robust, rich user experience for shooting yourself in the foot. You then find that bullets are disabled on your gun.

.NET
You can now shoot yourself in the foot with any of fourteen weapons, ranging from an antique medieval crossbow to a laser-guided Destructo-Beam. However, all these weapons must be manufactured by Microsoft and you must pay Microsoft royalties every time you shoot yourself in the foot.

PHP
You shoot yourself in the foot with a gun made with pieces from 300 other guns.

SQL
SELECT @ammo:=bullet
FROM gun
WHERE trigger = ‘PULLED’;
INSERT INTO leg (foot)
VALUES (@ammo);

Visual Basic
You’ll only appear to have shot yourself in the foot, but you’ll have so much fun doing it you won’t care.

XML
You can’t actually shoot yourself in the foot; all you can do is describe the gun in painful detail.

Eek! And I thought the Atari 400 was a pain with the membrane/flat keyboard.
