Very cool.  Did my first programming on a TI-99, and figured out how 
to hook the family cassette recorder up to it to save and reload the 
program (a crappy pac-man rip-off).  Graduated to a Kaypro "luggable" 
using CP/M and its' awful version of Basic.  Was the last year of the 
punch card programming class at Univ of Illinois.  Took one semester 
of assembly language and after the interesting first 3 weeks of 
novelty decided I HATED assembly language programming.  A hundred 
line program to sort a linked list of numbers?  Give me a break!
