i have a similar experience. i have been using the mac
since dec '01 when i purchased a 867 quicksilver. however
my first experience with apple was back in 84 i think, when i
got my second computer ever.... an apple //c.


oh and an ex girlfriend in college had a mac classic, which
i used even though i was into pcs at that point.

My first mac I owned was a SE, however we hooked up 9 macs(512's?) to a SE/30 in our HS lab, along side the 20 or so Apple IIe's long before that.

First Apple - II, II plus, IIe.

Have since owned, SE/30, II, IIci, IIfx, IIsi, Centris 650, 7100, 8100, and my current mac is a beige G3/266.

Of course, it has many mods to it. That would make it about 16-17 years on macs.

Back in '87... The ol' SE was quite a beauty.

I remember my addictions:

Dark Castle
Falcon
Leather Goddess of Phobos

That was the time I realized that I wanted to do networking.. when I got my SE and my friends SE hooked up via localtalk to play Falcon Flight Simulator.

Memories...

Apple II Plus (color) was my first introduction into the Apple world. I've been with them ever since.

I used to play Load Runner most of the time, but I also lost many hours to programming in BASIC.

I still have some floppy disks in my parent's house somewhere. I'll have to hunt them down the next time I visit.
