My brother had a DIY "computer" before the Apple IIe; can't remember much except there was a sort of spinning magnetic diskette. I remember writing my first program solving some simultaneous equations (2x2 or 3x3). Can't remember where the output was from.
Remember the silly "Insufficient ... memory" of DOS. I later wrote some silly programs in Dbase II on an Aple IIe.
Imagine what we have now. I have written a full chess engine in C compiled with free Linux gcc; nowadays, no human can beat a computer at chess - most are beyond the levels of the Grandmasters. Also everything in Linux is free, but most people still cannot use Linux.

my uncle say KNN is magic that alphabets and logic gates don't know make from what material can command things to work.
Is the LUGS still around?...Linux User Group Singapore, that is?
I have bought one & it ran like a charm on my Macbook Pro & I just plug in & it read thr disks & I copy out those that I want...& uncovered all the ' dark secrets' I have archived onto my 3.5" floppies...ha ha ha.
Alley cat haha. Also lakers vs bulls.
There a few of us who, when the first desktop computer were introduced into the office & only the balls lickers, were given the chance to go ON COURSE to learn the new PC, took to ourselves to stay back after work, to do free overtime; learn to dismantle the IBM PC running Dos 1.0, Lotus 123 version 1.0, Display write ( forgot which version), wordstar & examine the hardware, copy the software & took it home. We took it to ourselves to learn about Ram, BIOS, HDD etc...then learn some basic programming to learn to break the installation code of the Lotus 123 install disk to reset the counter from 1 back to 0, so that, the program could be installed again & again.
It became our 'rice bowl' to know PC hardware, Lotus 123, DOS, later Dbase...& just to mention, Foxpro...then later the word processors software, corel wordperfect...Microsoft works, then office etc.. graphic softwares..forgotten the name for the earliest ones...later ones, CorelDraw, GIMP & later Adobe...
The mastering of the PC hardware, plus learning to trouble shoot & trouble shoot, DOS, Lotus 123, Display write, word star, Dbase...was the "ricebowl" at that time, to make some side income..
Prince of Persia...
