Still got my Vic 20 in a closet. The video died somehow, but it’s still alive “in there”; when it died, I could still enter commands (blindly) to read the tape, for example, and see its effect, so if I ever just fix the video, maybe it’ll run again someday.
Same, with two caveats: I used BBC Micros at school before getting a home computer and did some BASIC on those so that might count as my “start”. And second, my C64 was a C64C. MOS Technology 65xx family FTW though.
The school had macs eventually for our computer lab. Then at some point we had both a windows machine and then an iMac. I ended up with a windows laptop around 11 and building my own windows pc just a few years later in early high school.
I started on a Commodore 64.
VIC-20 here. That 3K of RAM didn’t last long when programming. Dad saw I was hitting the wall and got me a 64.

I think my first was an Amiga.

That’s pretty neat-o!
