The first computer I used and programmed was a PDP-1 in high school. I tried to program Mad Libs on it with paper tape. The first computer I owned was a Timex Sinclair 1000. I tried to program word search puzzles on it.

TI-99/4A, yeah! I had (have, it still should be in some box) one of those including assembler module, extension box, 5 1/4 floppy disk, memory expansion (48 kb :-) and P-code card. I learned Basic, Assembler and Pascal with it.

The first computer I ever wrote a program on was my cousin's TI-99/4A, on which I wrote a program to play the Imperial March from ESB while visiting him. So I asked for one and got one, just in time for TI to drop it as a product. Oh well. We replaced it with a Commodore 64 the next year and long story short I've been a sysadmin for nearly 30 years, so I'm sure it wasn't a big deal. :-)
My dad worked at the college so my first real computer was a VAX-11/780. I bet there's going to be a lot of other nostalgia in this thread!

Lol, I asked for a Commodore 64. So I knew what I got.
