No, they are a damned menace!
If it were not for them I might retain a semblance of sanity!

I beat you to the draw, Nuro - a 48k Apple II in 1979.
£2,500 all in with two 5.25" (180k I think) floppies and an Epson 80 column printer, with a copy of Apple Writer and Visicalc (in 40 columns) which I used to charge local businesses £5 an hour for using in my home. But I eventually made more money selling Australian made 80 column video cards for £265 a shot. Whoo, you can nearly buy a whole PC for that money now!
My son still has it somewhere at his place in Manchester and next time I visit, we will dig it out and play a game of Sir-Tech's 'Wizardry' for old times sake.
Best money I ever spent actually.
