Uhm. Possibly something written in BASIC on the good old
TI99/4A my parents had when I was a youngun (hey man, we
even had the speech synthesizer), or something written in
BASIC on the good old Apple ][c we had. The first
one that I can recall, though, was in LOGO (saints preserve
me!) on a Commodore 64 in 5th grade; you gave it a few
parameters, and it drew snowflakes. It might have been
before we got the Apple, though.
After that, I sort of drifted away from programming, and
came back just in time to take a year of Pascal in my senior
year of Highschool, and that awful disaster drove me away
from programming for about three years. Then I finally
found C++ (hate it if you want, it's saner than Pascal),
and about the same time started messing with actually running
UNIX boxes instead of just using them, and then about 2 years
ago I discovered Perl. First Perl program I wrote was one
that randomly picked a sig file out of a directory and copied
it to my .signature file.
