114. Never got around to apples
As a guy who grew up keypunching code and command line processing, I found the GUI concept simply irritating.

Just drag it to the trashcan they told me with the Apple II. No thanks. When I punch a button I mean it, I don't want the stupid box comming back at me "Are you sure?"

I have adapted. But I still memorize the keyboard shortcuts and program my routines and queries in code. F the "wizards" they are as likely to give me something I want as not. Code works the way I tell it to.
