I started out on a PDP-8 programming assembler.
Well, old-timer, if we're going back to prehistoric times, I learned BASIC on the university's PDP-11, working from a teletype. Remember 8-inch floppy disks? Later on, I learned Fortran on a Xerox Sigma 9, working from punched cards.
My brother got a Commodore PET around 1977. Then I got a VIC-20 and eventually a C-64, both of which were still running until a few years ago.
