My first job back in high school was standing in a department store during the Christmas season demoing the Apple IIc. Wrote Steve Jobs a physical letter sometime in August or Spetember asking for a part time job so that I could upgrade my Mac 128k into a Mac Plus and someone from Apple actually contacted me.
In retrospect, the job didn't pay me enough to actually get the Mac Plus upgrade kit, but it was a lesson that frames how I interact with my own employees now.
