I started at 7 on my ZX81, and had written my first relational database(on the ZX Spectrum) by the time I was 9. It all went downhill from there...

A lot of us will be the product of the home computer age. I know I am. I got my hands on my first home computer around the age of 12, a Dragon 32. I taught myself BASIC and migrated into assembler code on it
But mainly I was in it for the games. I kinda fell into programming as a job by accident. I got a job as a laboratory technican (read general dogs-body). This was basically a help out the boss roll. He passed some programming work onto me after I spotted a small bug in some assembler code he had written. After a couple of years in that job, I went on to University to formalise my qualifications and have been at the same firm for 10 years since graduation.
So from a small seeds,a rather large and bloated apple grows.

If you are born on '60 it's hard that someone gives you access to a mainframe or even to a computer room...

That's exactly what i though by myself. I was born in 62, and had (affordable) access to a computer only in 81...no chance for the 10..15 years vote
