What was the first thing you typed into a PC (or Homecomputer) ever?

I have no idea. Probably a keysmash as I would have been too young to type anything properly? The only stuff I remember typing very early in my computer adventures were on my dad's Compaq Presario 700 with XP Pro on it: typing HTML in Notepad, writing other web pages using Word 2003 and Publisher 2003, or typing commands in the MS-DOS prompt or in .bat files without understanding them (I really only understood echo, pause and color, and typed sc queryex or used a lot of %RANDOM%to print random gibberish and sound like a hacker)

Hmm... maybe it was google.com? I've been using computers for as long as I can remember...
