For me it was a TRS-80 at Radio-Shack in Bellevue Square Mall. I read the book in the mall, and it had the traditional
10 PRINT "Hello, World!"
It also told of the GOTO statment, and I got to wondering what would happen if I made the program go back to the beginning. So I went back into Radio Shack, and wrote:

10 PRINT "Hello, World!"
20 GOTO 10

The screen filled to overflowing and would have run forever! They had to shut it down! I was hooked.
OK now is a good time for one of my favorite sigs. Heehee this is going to start some screams.

-- I try to avoid BASIC anymore since I saw the example of..(singing)
This is the code that never ends, it just goes on and on my friends.
Some people started GOTOing not knowing what it was
And now they keep GOTOing it forever just because
This is the code that never ends, it just goes on and on my friends.
(inspired by Lambchop's song..http://www.zutroy.com/stuff/neverend/)
HINT: you can get this song-virus out of your head by eating ice cream too fast.
