I started programming in 1966 on a CDC 6400. By the time affordable personal computers came out I had been working in computers nearly 20 years. In 1985 I decided my daughter should have a computer (few of her classmates had them back then). I looked at the options, Radio Shack, IBM, Commodore, PET, etc. Finally I decided on a 128k Mac. Although I bought it for my daughter (ha ha), I intended to learn about small computers with the Mac. At first, I was a little confused. I wondered "why would anyone want to change fonts"? And the cut-copy-paste made no sense because I was used to punched cards. My daughter picked it up faster than I did, even though I had been working in computers and have an M.S. in Computer Science. We upgraded it to a Mac Plus and my daughter took it to college. I eventually moved into LAN and Database work, using Novell, DOS, and later Windows. Since I was paid to program PCs, I had them at home until I retired a few years ago. I had several PCs then, but am now down to one. I rejoined the Mac world when the MacBook Air 2011 came out (first one with 4MB ram and 128G SSD). Then I got a Mac Mini with I7, 16GB RAM, etc. Prior to that I had an iPod, iPod Touch, and an iPad. Since then I acquired an iPhone 5S and an iPad Air. That about sums it up.
