At the age of three, someone gave me a plastic toy Dragonfly helicopter. My thought was not 'what is this' but 'so THIS is what I've been looking for'. Nowadays I cannot possibly afford to fly and keep a tight lid on wanting to.
EDIT: so what is it that is so addictive? For me it's purely genetic. Joe Average can point to how they arrive on the scene with a swirl of noise and glamour, those samurai swords flashing overhead and the people inside looking so cool, but I didn't get even that close until I was 11.
