For a 13 year old geek, it was wonderful.

My dad was an 8th grade science teacher.  One year he found a TRS-80 Model I
Level I that the PTA had bought the school.  He learned to use it, had it
upgraded to Level II and bought it home for the summer - where I pretty much
commandeered it.

One summer teaching myself BASIC on a 16K computer with only the manuals and
some example programs started a whole career in Computer Science for me.
