I’m kind of jealous. My first program was asking the user what 2+2 is and either displaying wrong or right.
When my cousin came to visit he coded a simple labyrinth like game where you had to move the cursor from the upper left corner to the lower right corner of the screen as quickly as possible while not bumping into random symbols scattered around. Sometimes it was unwinnable because the entrance or the exit were completely surrounded.
I think I have you slightly beat… mine was an Apple II+, circa late 1981, with a disk drive, and a monochrome green screen monitor.
First cell phone was around 1997. Though I honestly don’t remember what it was. I recall having a Nokia model from before they made that indestructible model in all the memes, as well as a Kyocera one that I could connect to a laptop and have wireless dial up internet at some abysmal speed like 20 kbps. (0.02 mbps). I had at least two more phones, including a Treo 650 “smartphone” before getting my first iPhone, a 3G. I’m on my sixth iPhone now.
Commodore 64, with the tape reader, hooked to a black&white CRT
Seems I’m the eldest one here for now

Same. First program I built was a bouncing circle, took 15 minutes to code and an hour to save to the cassette.
