I'm 56 soon (July 27 in case anyone wants to send me a 17" PowerBook to replace my ageing 3400c).
My first encounter with Apple was the 'pre-historic' Lisa*, 20 years ago. I remember thinking "Mmmm.. well built, good looking - but.... _HOW_ much????" The 'Dark Side' continued to hold me firmly in its grip for two more years, until the little 512k Mac blew me away. "Gotta have one" I drooled. By the time I'd saved up the readies, the Mac Plus had hit these shores - so that became my first ever Mac (Blindingly fast 8 MHz processor, Massive 1 Mb RAM - and a snip at �1,700 - you young 'uns don't know you're born!) The rest is history, as they say. I'm now surrounded by Macs (from LC II to G4 tower) 20-odd in all, counting redundant machines. (not 'dead' Chris; bits may fall off, but I've never had a Mac 'die' on me) Keith Jones PS: My wife uses a PowerBook, my daughters (6 and 10) share a PowerMac and my sons (13 and 15) a maxed-out B&W G3 * The 'Lisa' had a Mouse and a Graphical User Interface 20 years ago!
