I don't think anyone ever forgets their first view of Saturn through a 'scope. I most assuredly have not. My first view was through a little 2" Tasco unit on an alt-az tripod but even with that and chasing it across the sky it presents such a '3D' appearance when compared with a 'flat' Jupiter or Mars that it seems to affect all first timers.
It would be nice to think that many of those who are 'gobsmacked' by such a view go on to further their interest in the night sky.
