First Mac here was a Lisa, running Mac emulation SW -- the name escapes me. IIRC, the 10 or 20 MB (!) external HD alone cost a coupla grand.

Gee, my first time was a fat Mac, with a 5 meg Hyperdrive INTERNAL (GCC). I bought an ImageWriter, (and replaced it as soon as someone made a driver for the HP DeskJet), and a MacDraft CAD program, and sat at my desk for a half hour setting it up.

Then, I spent a few minutes playing, and printed a rough 1/4" scale floor plan. I was hooked. My friends were using a c>. I was using a mouse...

Currently using a G5 desktop (running Final Cut Pro, among other goodies. Think iMovie on steroids), with the 23" cinema display, but still using HP (OfficeJet). I also use a G4 17" PowerBook, a G4 desktop, my wife won't get rid of her Wallstreet G3, and 16 yr old has iMac DV. Airport Extreme runs them onto a cable modem, and print share.

I remember my (then) four year old daughter sitting at a computer. I had purchased an innocuous little program called StickeyBears. She learned to use it instantly, and fought me for time on the Mac.

She was reading, and doing math when she went to kindergarten...

Windoze guys are welcome to their PC's. I think I'll make another movie of my grandkids!
