5 and 6 years old, my brother and I played Zork on a neighbor's computer. NES, Atari. One day he comes home from the library with a book about BASIC. Not owning a computer, we spent all summer with pen-to-paper writing our own text adventure. Not sure if it would have run or not.

5 or 6 years later we finally get a Packard Bell from Walmart. Discover BBS. Warez a copy of Turbo Pascal 6. Rest is history.
