In the late-1970's, a junior high friend and I would walk down the street after school and learn to program the brand new TRS-80 at the local Radio Shack. The manager was initially suspicious that we were trying to shoplift (!), but quickly realized that we really were interested in the computer. We learned enough BASIC to program some simple but eye-catching visual effects. I think the manager allowed us to spend so much time monopolizing the TRS-80 display because other customers probably thought, "Hey, if those kids can do this, then I can too!":)
