Haha, I think my first C program was a fahrenheit to celsius converter.
I used to program stuff on calculators quite a bit, and even made a pretty enormous text-based roleplaying game for the TI83 which could handle expansion packs for additional worlds, monsters, and inventory items. I think it was called 'Runewars' LOL (or runequest or something equally inane). That's what I would do in math class after I finished my homework in the first half of the period.
I also used to program shockwave games back when that was huge.
I grew up on macs. My dad is a graphic designer and in those days it was the only kind of computer used in the printing industry, so we always got his hand-me-down hardware and software. First computer was an apple ii, then we got the macintosh lc (16 MHZ processor :haha. Then we upgraded to the iici, then it seemed like a quantum leap to the performa 6200 (75 MHZ). Then I think we had a bunch of those 3rd party mac clones, I remember some made by a company called 'Power Computing'. At some point my school system decided to throw away all of their mac computers and switched to PC, and my family decided to get us a PC in order to be able to work on school projects, etc at home and preserve compatibility. So they bought us Dells for a while, and I used those things until two years ago actually, when I bought a new iMac... much happier to be back on mac.
