At 10 years old I was into the Vic20... heavily. Until I got the Tandy 1000.
The Vic20 was my first computer, too. True story.. I won it in a Mother's Day essay contest back when I was 10 or 11 years old. It sat in my closet for months as at the time I had no interest in computers.
One rainy day I decided to break it out and mess around with it.. The rest is history..
Same here: first computer, a Vic20. Never had a floppy drive for it - typed in BASIC programs from magazines, such as BYTE, and occassionally tried to save to a tape drive - usually unsuccessfully. But it begat a couple of Apple IIs and a Timex Sinclair which eventually begat a PC-XT clone and well.. you know where that story goes.
