Not sure if somebody has done this before or not....


Were you a PC user and then "switched" to Mac, or did you start with Macs?

Sorry erverybody, I really should have put "Did you start with Apple?" no mac, if you started with Apple, just select the mac option.

I started off computing with a Commodore 64 and moved to the Atari 130XE, then Atari ST, Amiga, 286/16 then a Mac Plus. I would have gotten the Mac sooner but could not due to not enough $$$ to afford one!
