In 1980 I wrote a program to take horizontal and vertical seismic waveforms and plot them in different 3-D perspectives on a Gould plotter connected to an IMB 360. But let's be honest here, like most serious programmers the nature of the first program I wrote was irrelevant. It was glorious just to write software of any type in any language running on any machine! Hooked on my first byte.

Soon I began to realize that I was looking at an example of chaos. I now have a web site at http://www.tetration.org http://www.tetration.org with fractals and all documenting my research on tetration.
