My 1st pixel:

1976 - on a RCA VIP COSMAC computer kit ~$279.

64 x 32 res in 1 color, white.

Later I upgraded to an 8k ram card, and graphics up to 128 x 64 in 8 colors.

This computer was little more than a refrigerator/machine controller, yet I still coded up a rotating 3d scene.

And without an assembler, I had to program in the micro''s opcodes directly.

Eventually someone created an interpretor, I did a SpaceInvaders thing w/ that.

Shortly after that I played with some Fortran on a Textronix screen in a university environment.
