It wasn't until a good couple of years later that I ran my own BBS - I was running Iniquity and remember the hours upon hours spent on creating ASCII art for all the screens. That and the fact that I ran the BBS on my only phone line, meaning it was a 11pm to 6am only BBS - good times.

Turbo Pascal 5.5 With Objects was the first version to support OOP, IIRC. It was the version I started on, when I was 11 in 1991.

The Internet didn't reach me until about 1995 ...

I was in Berlin, age 6, also at the fall of the wall. Father was in military intelligence for US. I think at that time I was getting games to run on our computer using MS-DOS.
