My grandparents always encouraged my interest in computers and I owned a lot of the toy computers (C64, tandy et. al.) but the first "real" computer as in over a grand was an Amiga they bought me, I think they put 4K into that thing with all the bells and whistles. That is a lot of coin for a citrus farmer, especially back then. My grandpa who was an engineer in the Air Force before retiring and going back to the family farm, was convinced that computers where going to change the world. He would always say one day these things are going to talk to each other all over the world and it's going to change everything. Anyways long story short, they always boasted about it being the best money they ever spent.
