One 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.
