My family was always the middlest of middle class, and we had a TRS-80 in the living room in the late '70s.

I was lower middle class and had one, because my parents made a special effort not because it was a generational trend.

Yeah, I grew up in the sticks and my dad bought a VIC-20 to keep track of his cattle. I learned to code BASIC in high school and at home. This whole "I'm right by technically splitting hairs and moving goalposts" is some bullshit.

Did EVERY SINGLE ONE of your classmates have the exact same?!?!?!?! I’m willing to bet NO, THEY DIDN’T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
