Me too. I think my first hobby computers were the computers above. I remember programming "sprites" on the Commodore.
Before that, I used to program some survey instrumentation and plotting, CAD programing when I worked as a field engineer, but I can't remember what they were called at the moment.
Do programming early TI and HP calculators count as computers?

I just remember I also had one of the early Apple II computers in 1977.
