      Computers like the Commodore 64 and TRS-80 weren’t that expensive.

      Granted, the original IBM PC was pricy, but it was also targeted at business users.

      Not true at all. Most of my friends had less money than we did and we all had a home computer. Obviously not $4,000 IBMs, but we had Atari, VIC-20, TI, Commodore 64, etc. The rich kid had an Apple ][.
