My Mom dropped off a box of stuff the other day she found while cleaning the basement. On the left, my very first programming book, got it in 1990, I was 14 years old! From there I quickly moved on to my second programming book on the right. When I got to high school I took the only 2 programming courses (Apple II basic) offered, IIRC only 3 people signed up, of a graduating class of ~500 people. Heck, now my oldest boy is 12, and he is already in a java class in school.
My Dad bought a Mac Plus when they first came out, I blame him!
