My nephew had a Philips game computer that only worked with cartridges. That was over 25 years ago how I first got in touch with computers. The serious interest came at the age of about 14 when that same nephew handed over his old MSX computer that he didn't use anyway. After many years being an MSX 1 & 2 fan and that platform losing support I had to switch to a "serious" 386 PC. Since then lots of new and different configurations have appeared on my desk.
I was maybe 6-7 years old - 90'-91', then in 1994 i also started to read a programming book for kids and entered and executed some games and programs in Basic...I've got my first PC in 99' - 15 years old, now I am working as an IT
