We had a Texas Instruments computer when I was a kid. I remember we had to type up all the programs from a magazine in BASIC. Then if we wanted to run them again we had to either type them all up again or save them to audio tape. That's what really got me into computers. I didn't do much programming after that until I got to university. C, Assembly, SQL, COBOL, Visual Basic, HTML, and Visual C were all classes that I had to take. I was never that great at it, but didn't hate it. I kind of wish I had committed more to it now. A little bit ago I started playing around with Python and the HIVE libraries that are available.
