I saved my money and bought a copy of Turbo C. Before that, I used both Basic (first on the TI 99/4A then on QBasic) and Pascal (on computers in schools) with some Logo, Icon, and later AutoLisp (for AutoCAD).

I really liked Pascal and I always thought it was somewhat unfortunate it didn't survive outside of a small programming niche.
