My first computer was the Commodore 64
I got my first computer, a Commodore 64, as a gift from my grandmother, Margherita. She paid for it 600,000 lire. 1300 euro in 1982 are equivalent to 1,176.24 euro in 2021
I used it to type and run my first computer program in BASIC, which I had learned at the after-school course I was attending.
It was a Maths program, which I had been hand-writing on paper and running step-by-step in my mind for some months. After typing it in, it ran flawlessly. I was very proud.
