Our Family's first Mac was bougt in 1992 which was a IIsi.  My bro spent $5k for it when he was in college majoring in Package & Graphic Design.  We actually still have it but of course not operational, since it only has 85 MB HD space  , but back then it was top of the line mac!!  ahhh memories.....

my first mac was an apple II, which i began using in 1989. i upgraded to the classic in 1990

Its weird but I really can't remember. All i can say is that im pretty usless trying to navagate the rubbish bin they call windows and that i wouldn't swap my mac and osx well for anything else. (unless ur offering me a new mac )

Gotta love it really

Gentelmen! What we have here is an undereducated citizen who is attempting to spread lies about an obviously superior operating system!
I authorize the use of Swarm tactics for correction of this poor misguided soul!
COMMENCE FIRE!

You guys are lucky getting a choice between Macs and PCs at school, you almost never see any macs in Swedish schools, it's just not big enough here.

I can't remember what Macs my family has had, I just never bothered with all that stuff when I was younger, grown into it.

Tasty and I are talking about Universities Kami.  If your universities don't have options, than I'd seriously consider what else they pigeon hole you into and study abroad.  =D

In high school we had teletypes connected to a mainframe, IBM card readers for Fortran, TRS 80's for basic which were replaced by Apple][ C's when they came out.  No choices.

Ahh, isn't that cute.  Another moron.

Shall I dissect it for the class?


First, Waz made the first Apple in 1975-1976, which means this poor writer is now around 43 years old, yet still typing like he was a jouvanile.  Second, it was an Apple Computer, not a Macintosh.  

The first Macintosh computers came out in 1984, after a long string of Apple]['s and the LISA.  (Apple][GS is still talked about).  The Mac's were never "home made".


The operating system on Apple ]['s was so much like MSDOS (it was Apple DOS, since all OS's were called DOS back then), I doubt you could have told the difference.  Yeah, they existed, both were specific to the hardware at the time, and there were some same and some different commands, but they were both simple command line interfaces.

Now, if you are comparing the Mac from 1984, then Windows also came out in 1984, but as anyone who ever had the misfortune to use it can tell you, anything previous to Windoze 3 wasn't worth the sweat off my balls.  Windoze 3 came out in 1990.  And even then, it sucked.  Windoze 95 was where it really took off.

So, please, do us all a favor.  If you are going to try to mock something like this to be funny, at the very least do your homework.  That's what is the matter with youth today.  It feels like nobody does the basic research.

I was real lucky in middle school and high school as I went to the same school as Woz's kids. Needless to say, we always had lots of Macs lying around. Unfortunately, SC seems to be M$-centric at times. The only saving grace is that we still have some Macs in our labs. Additionally, someone must be in bed with Sun at our school, because we have a lot of nice Sparc boxes at our disposal.
