I remember the times when Apple ][, Commodore, TRS80 were the best you
could afford (I couldn't because I was still going to middle school).
And because it was just 10 years development until NeXTStep came out,
I can understand that you look what has been developed in the next 20
years...

Everyone here on this list has his very different history of becoming
a contributor. AFAIK not all have started as programmers or computer
scientists.
