I missed the C64 boat when I was younger. I mentioned (in an e-mail to you, I think) that the folks were averse to computers in general, let alone spending *their* money on such a thing when all they did was "crunch numbers" and "make you dumb".

They also avoided reading books other than those "by" King James (hint), which is likely why I became such a literary snob at 12, and an obsessive writer (textural escape artist) at 8 years old. Didn't wanna go their route in life. haha.

The way people look to me when staring glassy-eyed at their phones these days gives me the impression they might have been onto something with that last part.... ;-)
