nowalmartThis past Christmas marked a bit of an anniversary, and I completely forgot to celebrate it.
For Christmas in 1986, my family purchased an Apple //c
That is right - I have been using Apple computers for 20 years now. A few years after the purchase of the //c, my family bought me an Apple //gs for my own use. That computer got put in my bedroom in 1989 or so. A year or two after that I bought a 2400 baud modem, and that is when things got really interesting.
The progression of my main machine: Apple //gs, Macintosh Centris 610, Umax SuperMac S900/200DP, Quicksilver 2002/933MHz, 17" iMac G5 (iSight), 17" iMac Core Duo.
My secondary machines have included a PowerBook Duo 2300c, a 12" PowerBook/1 GHz, and an eMate, along with a few assorted PCs running anything from Windows 98 to Linux to NetBSD.
Speed has gone from 1MHz to 1.83GHz (x2). RAM in my machines has gone from 128KB to 1.5GB, and storage has gone from 0 in the first two machines (no hard drives, everything off of floppies) to almost 1TB connected to my main machine now.
