Swap "CS" for "auto repair" and parents who know how to drive but don't know how a car works. Buying them a new Fiat isn't going to change anyone's interest. Your passion is not their passion. And if you got into computers despite their non-interest, thank them that they let you have your own passion and did not force theirs upon you. So you don't. Either they are interested or not. They have had an entire lifetime of adult money and could have made computing a hobby any time. Good luck.
