How did you start programming?
And I? After my uncle died when i was 7 , his friend gave me a little old ICL laptop with windows 95 (I don't remember the type). I took it nearly everywhere, when we were on holiday, my dad keyed in qbasic and showed me some things. I was completely stunned and I immediately started learning. After my other uncle heard of this, he gave me a book about Qbasic, which I learnt even more from.

(Quite some uncles involved in this huh?)

It's a great way to waste time, and now (already) make some money!
