My first program ... what a terrible memory ...
I was still in school, and teaching things to do with computers was at it's very beginning in Germany. I had no computer myself, but could only use the ones at school and only when I had the lessons. No time to practise, to try things ... so not really fun. Programming language was TurboPascal then, and our teacher was reading his very first TurboPascal book during that year, and no he had no prior programming experience.

One of the very first tasks was to have TurboPascal to draw a circle on the screen. When the term was over I had my circle-script and I took Latin and quit programming for a good while.
