I just read a book called Bootstrapping by Thierry Bardin. It is basically a biography of a guy named Douglas Engelbart. According to this, Engelbart was the guy who invented the mouse...???

I know I am a youngin' here, 18 years old, and my first Mac was my dad's "Centris 660AV"... hehe..... And to use my "Where In The World Is Carmen San Diego?" multi-media game with the blazingly fast 2X CD-ROM player, I put CDs in... a CADDY, and THEN loaded them.... buahahahahahahahahaha!.... hahahaha!... haha.... heh.... hehe.... heh...

Alright, fine, I'm the only one that finds the idea of a CD Caddy funny....

I used a Mac 128k that my dad bought! Now I'm a freshman in college with a TiBook and a G3 Tower. I grew up with the Macintosh

we started with a plus when I was young
we bought a 45 MB hard drive for it, that first needed to get warm before it started to function 45 MB was huge whow man, back then... I could saven thousands of applications on it
Then a classic, it's still alive, although it is now at our neighbour who can't afford herself a new computer
Then my dad bought a performa 450, that was the last time his computer was better then the computer from the kids. now my mum uses it
coz lateron we bought a performa 630 and we were really so amazed by groliers encyclopedia and so
then came a performa 6400/180, which is now workless, coz it has serious problems, it sometimes won't even startup and can give system errors even teh error-databses don't know what it means (error -127?, anyone?)
then came a b&w g3 350 Mhz, a great machine, it is still in use by my brother
and since the end of march, i have my own iMac 500 Mhz. 20 GB! I guess the Plus won't even see the whole disk
and I'm soon on OS X

1984: Apple ][c (my first Apple experience, loved MousePaint, I was 6 years old)
1985: second hand Apple ][+ (I think it was released in 1979)
1991: Macintosh LC (our first Mac, had an Apple ][ emulator card)
1994: Macintosh LC 475 (first time connected to the internet)
1995: second hand Macintosh Quadra 800 (once was the "most powerful mac ever")
1997: PowerMac 9600/300 (a real beauty!)
1999: PowerMac G4 (my Mac at work)
2000: PowerMac G4 Cube (my favorite Mac all-time! I use it every day for hours)
2001: PowerMac G4 466 (my new Mac at work, with internal cd burner)
I still have the ][c, ][+ and the LC 475 somewhere in the house ;-)
The first time I "used" a Mac was in 1984, at our Apple dealer, I was 6 years old...
can't wait for the G7 ;-)
