My first exposure to computers was a dumb little kit with 16 sliding switch/connectors and 8 light bulbs. It required manual wiring of "programs" and I used it to solve, among other things, the farmer/wolf/goat problem. Of course at that point I didn't know what a computer was; the kit was sold as a "logic electronics" kit or some such – one of those "educational toys" that are the favourites of parents and hated by most children. (Oddly, I loved mine.)
