Damn. Commodore C64 was my first computer on which I learned my first programming language - BASIC.

I still have my Commodores:

That was computer on which have born my programming passion, my life without C64 would not be the same like today.

Yeah, C64 was very life-changing for me as well. The floppy did arrive a few days later when I bought it so in the meantime I used the C64 manual to figure out how to write games. Turned out I learned some programming accidentally while creating those games, so now thanks to Jack Tramiel's fantastic system I'm allowed to call myself programmer.
