I think my dad might have been. He's the king of the early adopters. We had a VCR that cost $800, top of the line and brand spanking new. Crazy programming options. I still have it, incidentally, and it's heavy as all getout but it still runs great (unlike the dozens of other VCRs I've gone through over the years.)

Edit: Well, I should say he was the king of early adopters, in his youth. He's still never owned a computer. Says he doesn't need another toy, and of course he knows what they're capable of because he used to program them back in the day. Calls me on a fairly regular basis wanting me to look something up on the internet for him. Even the coolest, trendiest guys turn into old codgers eventually...
