Didn't everyone at least dabble with BASIC?
I started using BASIC on a time-sharing service using dialup from an ASR-33. Paper tape was the storage medium. That's what was available in high school in the early '70s.

I learned on an ASR-33 as well.
When my son and I visited the Computer Museum when it was still in Boston [1], they had an exhibit on the timelines of computers. An ASR-22 was in the first glass case. That skips a century of Babbage machines, Enigma devices, ENIAC, etc., but it sure rocked me back on my heels!
