A few weeks ago I remembered my old Commodore 64 and my work in BASIC. Ten years ago it was 2002. and in that time I was 13. I didn't have PC, but my dad bought C64 at the time when I was born. I also found one book about c64 that year and I asked my father what is it and he said that there are some numbers and commands that even he didn't understand. I started reading the book and I entered my first BASIC commands in C64. When I sow that command PRINT "ARMIN" prints my name I was very exited. So I learned almost all commands and I wanted to create Windows on C64. Because I didn't have PC , I have been going to internet club to see how real PC works and what commands it has. After that I started to write Windows shell on my C64. When I created desktop and start menu, I also programmed DOS, Corel Draw, Notepad, Writepad, Documents , Excel some games, .... all that programs haven't been fully functional of course , I was just creating what I saw on PC in the internet club :). I named my program Windows 105 because at that time I didn't know exacly what it is. I thought like: "Micosoft have Windows 98, so I will be greater than Microsoft, I will be Gigasoft and my Windows will be 105,not 98"... kids :) I also imagined that I have had my company CNA (Company for new achievements) :D
After I created a lot of things on it I found in second hand store old tape with SIMONS BASIC. After that I stoped developing Windows and started to programming Windows in SIMONS BASIC. I did that because with the new basic I was able to use mouse. I was programming few months , and then my parents decided to help me and they bought me a real PC. That year I attended programming competition and I was fifth in region :)
After that I continuededucating myself and now I am programmer working in insurance company and I am programming in almost all modern programming languages. :)
