Yup. I grew up in a solidly blue collar household that didn’t have much money to spare. We got a Vic-20 at a garage sale, and I learned how to program by borrowing these books from the public library. Eventually we upgraded to an XT that came with GWBasic and I was blown away by how much more I could do (640kB of RAM! I can do anything!)
