Fortunately for me growing up I had a grandfather that worked on arcade games pool tables and juke boxes for most of the area so we always had the big game consoles pinball machines pool tables & Rockola juke boxes slap full of records in our house

That basically parallels how I got my first computer (Vic 20) when I was 3. My grandpa was an engineer at IBM which is how we ended up in Palo Alto, and I grew up surrounded by them. He was trying to teach me how to use them before I could even read. It never really took though. I didn't end up buying my first computer as an adult until I was 26.
