First household computer was 1977 time-frame (when I was 7). Learned to write BASIC and 6502 assembler on it. I was only 7 when computers first started coming into my house, so, it wasn't till after college that I got my first computer. That was a home-built PC that I ran Linux on. At the time (early 90s) Windows wasn't really even an option and Apple was well out of my price-range (pricing and overall availability aside, neither Apple nor Microsoft OSes really did IP-based networking at the time). I needed something that had TCP/IP networking built in so I could use the [rudimentary] internet services then available.
