It was the late '80s and I had convinced my dad to dump his old Typewriter for an Amstrad Word Processor. The computer came with LOGO and I started playing with it all the time.
I already owned a Commodore 64 and I entered the insanely long Hex code programs from Commpute! magazine all the time, but it was LOGO that truly taught me how programming works and how to think programmaticaly. I was 14 years old. I truly believe I owe my ability to code embedded systems to those early training sessions. Good times!
