I think I was about 10 and it was an Atari STE, I really wanted a Falcon though! I used to buy ST format and mess about with the programming listings that they put in there. I even managed to hook it up to a BBS a few times when my parents were out!

Eventually I managed to persuade my parents to get me a PC, I think it was a 486 with windows 3.11 on it.

All the cool stuff and technology that I get to use now, never comes close to giving me the feeling which those first couple of machines gave me.
