Way
"back in the day" my first computer (one that I owned and was not work related) was an Apple IIe. That was in the day of the IBM Personal Computer, and it was a conscious choice to go the Apple route. I loved it, learned to tinker a bit with it....learned to do things with it that seemed like miracles at the time. From the IIe I purchased a IIc, and my final foray was for into the Applie IIGS (graphics-sound). When Apple developed the Mac and discontinued the Apple II series my choice than was to go to the Mac or switch over the PC. Because of work I went the PC route, as that was the route the Company was going. At the office we went from 386's to 486's to the very powerful AS400 mini-computer from which (through an emulation card) I could run PC software without having an additional computer and monitor on my desk. Interesting days!! I never got into I pods, but jumped back to Apple with the I-phone and the I-pads and have loved my rekindling of a relationship with Apple. They make wonderful hardware-software machines that do what they're supposed to do....they DO just do it.
My old IIe was "signed" by Steve Jobs and Woz....I sure wish I still had it! Steve will be missed by Apple fans for sure...he's kept personal computers a lot more interesting then they would have been without him.
