I can't resist... :) *I* remember switching from my IBM, whose DOS OS I never understood, to Mac in 1986. And being so please to actually understand what everything did, and how to fix it if things went awry.
And I remember the huge step of buying a second floppy drive for it at the end of college -- because I had finally reached the point where the papers I was writing were too large to fit on the same disk with the system software and the work processing program. Hard drive? I only got one of those when my poor Plus finally died in Paris (actually it was just the screen, but it was insanely expensive to fix), and I made the big jump up to a Mac Classic. It was somewhere around my PB540 that I began to lose track of what every extension did. Now I've a Ti-book, which is nice, but I miss that feeling of really understanding and being in control of what my computer is doing... that's why I love my compact macs :) -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
