The only real fight I ever recall my parents having was when my dad came home with that $1,000 100 meg hard drive. My mother was livid that he had not discussed it with her first. Years later, as I came to learn what our financial situation was like in those days, I understood just how crazy it was for him to do.
- colanderman 13y agoOne of my earliest childhood memories was going to the computer store with my mom to buy my dad an Imagewriter II as a gift. I LOVED that thing and it is probably responsible for much of my love of computing. (I remember the day my dad taught me what PR#6 did… oh boy the paper I wasted after that.) It was only over a decade later that I realized how crazy it was that she bought that for him, given that it was (a) $600, and (b) she knew absolutely nothing about computers.
