I still remember the jokes about LISP:  More parenthesis than actual code!  LOL.
 
My fun little "extra" when I wrote assembly programs was to embed Shakespeare quotes in the line continuation area (that one character area on the far right that doesn't usually show - you simply put any character there if you needed to indicate that the command continues on the next line).
 
I'm still pissed off with RPG3, it was the only class that I didn't get an A in during college and only because I was docked points when I forgot to delete my code from the hard drive once the lessons were finished!  Heck, I'm feeling a bit burnt even now just recalling it!  Heh...

6502! That little chip and I had a very tight relationship for a few years. The first CPU that was actually fun to program. I didn't even have an assembler at first, punching in machine code and figuring out jump offsets with pad and paper long into the night. I still remember some of the instruction set to this day.
 
When I moved over to the 8088 I wondered what those guys at Intel were smokin'. Virtual memory? WTF! Nobody will ever need more than 64KB of RAM!

I've used to be able to program using Atari Basic Language in the 1200XL computer  in the 80's ....
 
Now all my programing language is done with Microsoft paint and help and tips from Bapu

I spent quite a few years Lost In Stupid Parentheses, and happily so. Moved on to C for a couple decades, C# the last few years...and random excursions into others like SmallTalk

Same here, couldn't afford the C64 assembler cartridge on my pocket money so I would write programs on paper, convert them to hex and then to decimal to load into memory via POKE instructions. Not surprisingly, I never managed anything but the most rudimentary of programs.

the good old poke command.  I had a friend that managed to squeeze quite a bit out of his c64.  My favorite computer ever.

I'm proud to say that I ported the famous game Advent from B on a Unix box to Basic on an HP2000 back in the 70's.
(A hollow voice says "Plugh!")

I have been mislead. I am a people who uses multiple DAWS but I don't know how I wound up here.

Oh and I run too...sometimes. I am usually sedentary when on my DAWs.
 

Not too long ago I had as a client the famed video game legend Richard Garriott who was responsible for the Ultima series of games during the 80's (and who went on to finance his own trip into space a few years ago). I was talking to him about programming one day and he told me he never learned C and wrote the Ultima titles in BASIC. I'm presuming they were subsequently compiled but it was still a surprise to me to realize that you could create a commercial game release with it. Personally I could never get to grips with using line numbers and all those GOTO's.
