maybe your dad had a mistress that worked for IBM tending to large hard drives and so on the small hours of the night he learned how to park his hard drive

maybe dad toiled the land, growing cabbage after cabbage until those cows literally came home to eat their cabbages and so you grew up thinking computers were for pencil necks and yuppies

my dad was all over punch cards in the 1970s but he's not much of a computer guy now. likes his ipad though he wanted a cellphone without a camera but they didn't sell any in the local Rogers store so iirc he's still on a Nokia with the green screen

My dad had a computer farm, and we got all the best RAM because he knew the right time to harvest them.

Electronics are hard to grow because you need just enough water to keep them growing, but not so much that you short circuit them.
