My parents went down the home computer route, and I ended up with an 800 XE.

It was beautiful. The detachable keyboard, the IBM-grey sleek housing, the pastel console buttons, and satisfying "chi-chuunnnggg" of the spring loaded power button.

I felt like I had the future under the palms of my hand.
