I had to beg to get the family to buy an Apple ][, but then someone handed me a pirated copy of VisiCalc and my dad wouldn't let it go. He was a recently minted MBA that had spent years grinding with SPSS and VisiCalc was a magical thing.
After that we always had nice printers and lots of storage as he started a consultancy and drove it all from that Apple ][. He even wrote documents in the spreadsheet, he refused all attempts to move to a proper word processor. Lots of fond memories there.
