Was going to share a very similar story, I got my first computers for Christmas. We got first a C64 which got me into "programming", but I think it was the Amiga which made me the happiest. It was such an upgrade compared to the C64.

Whenever I feel stress, overworked, or frustrated with colleagues as an IT professional, I remember what got me into programming and all the fun I had with these computers.



The Amiga was my second computer too. And I have spend all my money on the M2 Modula 2 compiler.

Then I could do computer school homework in M2 on my Amiga and just had to translate it to Turbo Pascal in school to submit it :-)
