The Vic-20 was my second or third computer, after a C64 and possibly a 
PC (first shortly running Microsoft software, before I switched to Linux 
in 1993). I got the first one in 1991 for 50 FIM (about 10 USD).

By the way, the C64 started to really enter Finland in 1984 or 1985. I 
got mine in 1986 maybe after a year after I had seen one. The same year 
several school mates got one. Nowadays, in the age of the Internet and 
almost unregulated global marketplace, the market penetration would be 
much faster. I am not sure if that is a good thing, though.
