I remember getting a VCR in 1985 when I was in the 4th grade. I thought my folks were the last people on the planet to get one. The first movie we watched was Ghostbusters.
You're not my kid, are you? That was about the year we got our first VCR and touch tone phone. We also bought a microwave oven for my wife's parents, for $165 but they didn't want it, so we got it. I remember buying a #6 countersink bit to install it under the kitchen cabinette. I did own a Mac Plus in 1985 ($2,200, used! With image writer dot matrix printer and 10 MByte SCSI hard drive.)
