i was around 12~15 (1996~1999) my cousin and i were playing mini-soccer with "assorted random items". and with that i mean: plastic soldier, clothespins, truck (best goalkeeper), and the ball was of course: a dice.
until the day I bought a spanish magazine (i'm from Argentina) named "Micromanía", that included a CD-ROM full of sharewares/freewares/demos/etc. And this particular issue came with a software called "Multimedia Builder" (i'm surprised that this is still available: mediachance.com/mmb/).
so, i had the great idea to create an automated tournament fixture. i inserted the input text, configured the buttons, and created the differents steps. and in a short matter of time i finished with relative ease. and that was my first contact to the programming world, in that moment my life changed and i discovered my hidden passion. then i continued with Visual Basic. i had to go to some cybercafe almost every day to download all the resources (tutorials, source code, etc) 'cause i didn't have an internet connection. and how did I carry all that data to my pc? dropbox, pendrive maybe? no no no, a lot of diskette 3½.
Yep: good times.
