Not that long ago (1980's?) it was said that no one really needed a personal computer, and that no one would buy one.

I programmed microcomputers in the 70s as a kid.

In the late 70's the rich boy of the neighborhood got a zx-spectrum clone (rich kids toy in Brazil at the time) but I was the only kid of the bunch that thought programming in basic was fun - all of my friends just wanted to load Kung Fu Mater[1] from the tape recorder. Crazy, games were stored into analog audio k7[2] tapes back then.
