I learned basic for the TRS-80 color computer in the summer between 2nd
and 3rd grade at the sitter's house.  In third grade, we had Apple IIe's
and I learned LOGO on them.  Then I went without computers until the
sixth grade, when I was back to doing BASIC on a TRS-80 III.  I moved,
and the new school had Apple IIe's.  This time my work was in 6502
assembly.  I did that until I got a PC-XT my senior year of high school
(1993/94).

I've always used "obsolete" equipment.  Heck, yesterday my employer gave
me an old dual processor P-133 system that they no longer use.  My first
multi-processor machine.. :)
