I received one of these from parents when I finished the 8th grade in 1980. I think they got the base model though with 4KB of ram, it was "only" $999. I recorded programs onto a cassette tape. Fun!

I was 11 years old when I learned BASIC programming on one of these in 7th grade. I loved it and it led to my career.
