I've been programming since I first tried Basic on my Amstrad CPC 464 (with green screen monitor of course!).

Personally I think I came into it at perfect time - I'm old enough to talk about programming ADA on a VAX/VMS Mainframe, but young enough to not have endured punch cards.

The last three years have been Prism/WPF/NHibernate, but we're slowly moving over to Entity Framework.
