For me it was writing a program to balance my mums household accounts on a ZX Spectrum and figuring out how to load/save data to a tape.

Bless her she actually used it even though it was about as much work as doing it by hand.

I think she was just trying to keep an excited 9yo happy.

It ended up been rather more sophisticated than the original plan.
