Very close: my mother was an academic statistician and had a faculty NeXTCube at home that at one point she developed some business models for my father in Mathematica on. After she passed away the machine went back to the faculty but my father wanted to be abler to continue using the models he had come to understand and rely on, so he bought a NeXTStep-capable machine, licensed Mathematica and S on it, and roped me in since I was the most mathematically inclined in the family and was able to get a grip on how they worked, keep them up-to-date, adapt them when circumstances changed, and even improve them sometimes.
