I am an OpenEdge (aka Progress) developer that loves clean code and good looking applications that are easy to use. My main pet project is the Progress DataDigger
I think I was around 12 years old (~1982) when I wrote my first basic program. On paper. Yes, paper. I got infected with the programming virus by a book of a friend of my parents. They had a commodore 64 with a book that belonged to it, with instructions on how to program in basic. I just loved it and started to write my own program on paper. Later - in school - I programmed on a TRS-80 system and even later I got my own MSX computer. Today I am still programming. And I still love it. Even after almost 40 years.

We had TRS-80 computers at school too, in third grade computer class! We'd sit two or three at a computer and type in programs that the teacher handed us.

Commodore 64 is such a legendary machine.
