Well, he came to my room, put the PC on my desk and told me: " see if you can do something with it".
I was in high school, never heard about programming, computing and that wonderful world before. Luckily I was strong in math and logic so in a short time I learned the embedded interpreter Basic (named Basic 8000 if I recall it correctly) and wrote a few simple programs.
I still have my M20 in my garage and from time to time I turn it on just to meet again an old friend.
Two years later, after a few sw written in GWBasic, my parents bought an Olivetti M24 and I met my love: the Pascal language.
At the beginning it was a three-disk compiler (editor, compiler, linker) by Microsoft but luckily (again) I was a reader of...
