My parents got me a Commodore VIC-20. After I mentioned that I got one for Christmas, I was laughed out of my 7th grade Apple ][ programming class. My parents made up for it the following Christmas with a Commodore 64.

Similar story. I got a VIC-20 for my birthday and by Christmas 9 months later I was getting a C64. I outgrew it quickly. It took another 6 months before I got a floppy drive and modem.
I had my VIC-20 for 10 years. I had an Apple ][ at the same time. It was my sister's, needed for the ability for printing, and the ability to take the files to school that was Apple-only. The VIC 20 was relegated to a game console, Choplifter and a few others I kept playing for years, until I moved to gaming on a PC exclusively, with Command & Conquer (1995) as my memory of the game that got the VIC-20 mothballed.
I did play on a friend's C64 for years as well.
