I have been working with computers and programming for around 40 years.(since they were invented) In 1978 I was given my first PC, a Commodore PET 2001 - 1 mHz/4KB RAM with a cassette tape drive. It came in 2 large boxes. One for the PC (with the little green screen) and one full of operating manuals and languages - pascal, FORTRAN, etc. The old farmer I was working for at the time told me that his son had sent it out from Germany and had said to him, "Dad, it's the latest thing, put the farm on it!" The farmer had promptly put it into his shed (unopened) and forgot about it until I mentioned my interest in them. He was happy to be rid of it. Took me weeks to type in enough code to play naughts & crosses. I now have computer programming and advanced web design qualifications in languages and internet technologies such as; XHTML, HTML5 CSS, CSS3, PHP, XML, MySQL, JavaScript.
