I owned the very first Pong, first on our block to get it, I was only about 13 or 14 I think.
My younger brother had one of those computers that you loaded stuff from a cassette and I had absolutely no interest in computers. I didn't really like computers until they had icons to click on. MacPaint was the first app that did something that I wanted to use a computer for since I was a photographer at the time. I instantly got hooked on Photoshop when it came out.
I like Tivo for the same reason that I like using a Mac. It just does what you ask it to do without the hardware or software getting in your way.
