My first scope was also a 60 mm (2.4 in) cheap thing/refractor my parents bought me as a kid, but I didn't really get interested in astronomy until my early 20s when I found that old scope at my parents, took it home, cleaned it, set it up that night and pointed it towards the brightest "star" in the sky and just by chance it turned out to be Saturn. After I saw the rings (just barely) I was hooked.
