Had the same thought in 1981 when I bought my Sinclair ZX81 - had lots of fun with that! Naw, used to write my own programs, some for work some just doodling. Took it to work and it was called a toy. Then I wrote and debugged a program to calculate Helmholtz cavity frequencies, that took that engineer two days to do on a big old HP programmable calculator (best we had in our lab at that time), in an hour. In those days we had one other HP frame job that we could scrounge time on for plotting graphs from event recorders and a PDP11 in the "secret lab" that we were never allowed near. Not much of a gamer, me. Waited until I progressed to a Sinclair 48k Spectrum before I bought one, "The Hobbit". Yeah, start the cassette player and go make, and drink, a coffee... Now its only "Spider" while I listen to the radio. 
Just having a few beers and watching Jaws.
Watching the first snow fall.
"Alone is what I have. Alone protects me."
“I may be on the side of the angels but don’t think for one second that I am one of them.” “The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery each day." 
He missed the 1st and the 2nd then
 There was snow here then!
2am Monday morning and I can't sleep.
