I wanted a PC so bad I used to "wire up" a pocket calculator to a TV with a piece of string and pretend it was a keyboard and the TV was the monitor. My parents didn't trust me with a "real PC", but they did eventually get me a Famicom clone that at least had a proper keyboard. What they didn't know was that it also had BASIC, and thus my fate was sealed.
