In the early 80’s, I was a young teen-ager. It was a time when some of my friends had Commodore 64s and Apple IIs, and I had an IBM PC 8088. At the time, I thought I was “missing out” because there weren’t a lot of games for the IBM. But then I was thumbing through an issue of PC Mag and it had a listing for a program in BASIC. I can’t remember what the program did now, but I remember thinking I had found a secret tunnel into the inside of the computer. Since then I have always loved programming. Well to be honest, after a few years of loving it, I left it behind because I thought I wanted to be a rock star or a baseball player… Until my mid-twenties.
