My parents bought a "family computer" for christmas 1984 and it was a (by
then) outdated VIC-20. So the very first lesson in computing I learned was
about the meaning of the word "upgrade". But nevertheless, this unexpanded
3.5 K machine was my introduction to the BASIC programming language and I
did take my first steps learning how to program with it. Oh, and once I
bought a very cheap "Donkey Kong" clone for it on tape. Heh.
