In 1980 I was 18 and saved up money mowing lawns and working at a grocery store stocking shelves and cleaning the meat cutting machines.
Bought an Apple II with 48k memory, a floppy drive, and a Applesoft basic ROM card. I could then flip a switch and boot between integer basic which was significantly faster, or floating point basic.
Learned enough from that purchase to go into the IT field right out of high school and have been doing it for over 42 years now.
