I can definitely account for 1.

You can definitely put me down for 0 because my parents didn't love me enough.

Put me down for 0 too because we were poor.

Put me down for one Amiga 1000 (which I still have with the 2MB expansion), I found a used one for sale and snagged it for $300 (before the A500 or any other models were released). I thought it was a great deal.

I had an A500 and the 40MB drive was as expensive as the computer.

I remember when me and a friend both had C64s and he got a 20MB HDD for it. He said "bring your floppies over and we'll swap software, I have tons of space now!" Big surprise, I had way more floppies than he had drive space. 😆 These days I don't mess around, I have around 105TB of storage with room for expansion as drives get cheaper.
