Look at those prices!
I am so thankful for my parents paying an arm and a leg to get me a computer at a young age. I'm guessing the Apple ][ they bought me 30 years ago must have run them a few grand at least.

Myself as well. My first computer was an Atari 800XL, tape drive (cassette no less!), floppy drives, etc.
I attribute my deep interest in the IT field (along with my high salary) to their early support/nudging. Thankful, very much so.

My dad also had a computing magazine where you could transcribe small programs or text based games into your 800XL and make your own simple programs - which probably has a lot to do with why I'm a software developer today.
That and the IBM PC junior. Good times.
