| How've Mac's changed your life?
How have Mac's changed your life for the Better/Worse/Same? Long 3 page story short for me: I first used Mac's a little over two years ago. Purchased first Mac last summer (it was used), bought two more used Macs. Learned the OS. Now school is trying to get rid of Mac Administrator and make me Mac Administrator and put me on salary (even though I'm only 17)

Since I had started on Macs and then moved to PCs much later on, I would have to say that I now have more of an appreciation for the Mac and the Mac OS, both Classic and X. Mind you, I still have a love for Linux and other *nix OSes thanks to the tinkerer in me, but for ease of use you can't beat the Mac.

I went to bug someone if he would know where to find some Newton software, and ended up after a lot of chatting and other wanting to spend all my life with him  (so marrying him soon). Also, working mostly with Macs, both hardware and software ...

it's changed me to the point where once i would quite happily enjoy using a new dell or whatever, to the point where i scream at the horrible clunky OS and the shoddy build quality. this keyboard is rubbish. the front panel on the dell is the most fragile feeling shoddy piece of work. I find the lack of technology in windows disturbing. it genuinely feels like i'm using 5 year old technology. with macOS i feel ahead of the curve. i feel pride.

I was a big hater of macs a few years ago. I thought that no one used them and they were too expensive and too undersupported. Recently at the beggining of '05 I felt that there was an explosion of publicity on the tech shows that I watched. I had never used osx before I recieved my b&w g3 from ebay! I learned the os in days and I cannot stop praising this machine to all of my friends and family. I still use windows on occasion mostly because my mac is only 450Mhz and my desktop is 1.4Ghz. Since then I recently purchased a 20gig Ipod Color. I dont want to think of what my life would be like without macs in it today.

Apple has certainly changed my life. I first started using computers, and my first Apple was a 11g, to my current PowerBook. Mac has gotten me through High School, College, and now my job. I rely on the stablilty of the OS and hardware, and have no major complements. Apple is a nice company to deal with when needed, and they are innovative.
