1-How did your interest for computers start? Which year was that?

Ahem, back or kinda "late" in the 80's i saw my friends Stavros Fasoulas(*)
and he was carrying the newest thing with him. Zx81 with 1kb memory. WOOOO!
t0t4l 0wn4g3 ;) well, after i drooled (after that first shock) about 6 weeks
around every comp-seller i managed to get my hands on a shiny vic-20. HA! i
beated him, this has 3kb memory and a module called THE COUNT (tm). well
after 1 month (yes) vount was finished and then the time to me started. I
started typoing something in my computers. bleh rest is normal history. vic-20
(few copied moduls direct to tape), c64 (hacked games (thrashman willy (?)),
music and poor demos made, first games in ctape (loading 30mins) heeeeeeeeeeh.
(how in hell we managed it then?), first floppy-turbos "pink floyd", ahem, and
forbidden forest. (shivers;)). then c128, amiga500, amiga1200 and "shamefully"
