I remember being about 10 or 11 ('82/'83) and one of my friends had a C64. I used to go over to his house and play games on a green fluorescent display. He also showed me how he could make the computer output my name over and over again. I was mesmerized.
From then on I kept nagging my parents to buy one for me too.
When I was about 13 my father finally got a computer, through work. It wasn't a C64 like my friend had. It was an Olivetti XT x86 running at 8Mhz (most XT's at the time ran at 4.77Mhz). A massive gray box.
Over the next few years I learned BASIC then x86 assembly. By the early '90 the European Demo scene was in full swing. Good memories.
