This is 100% accurate.

I grew up in the sprawling suburbs where every other kid had a moped and a swimming pool, but next to nobody had a computer.

My giant middle school, with thousands of kids had a computer club. And there was a grand total of 8 of us computer-owning nerds. Not to mention my Apple ][e cost something $4000 (USD) in todays money.
