I wonder how long everyone here has been using Apple equipment. I’m an old greybeard so we’re taking 68k era for me. Well, Apple II really!! Then PowerPC then Intel and some newton and og iPod and of course iOS.
What’re everyone‘s Apple history? I’d be interested to hear!
I first started using Apple products in elementary school. My school had a lab with lots of iMac G3 in it. Always loved the translucent colorful nature of them. Then in another class the teacher had computers lined up around the room and one was connected to an AudioVision 14 Display. I don’t remember the computer it was connected to, but I loved that monitor back then because of the speakers lol.
Growing up, my parents were not interested in buying any Apple products because of price. They stuck with the cheapest Compaq or Gateway they could find at Best Buy. I wasn’t able to afford my own Mac until 2013. Bought the late 2013 iMac for school to edit videos, and I’ve exclusively used Macs personally since (only use Windows at work). Finally sold that iMac in 2021 and got an M1 Mac Mini.
@LJay71 I believe you youngsters still say "yolo," right? If you've got the space and the coin, go for it. I have a PowerBook 150 (in pieces) but the dopamine hit from the nostalgia is real!
