I was an "EvangeLister", subscribed to the Macintosh EvangeList Mailing List, back in the mid-90s; I had a subscription to MacAddict magazine to go along with it. I was always baffled when I'd meet someone who used a Mac and they weren't as... enthusiastic as I was.

I am still kicking myself over one thing from that timeframe though - my freshman year of college, September 1997, I almost spent the $3,000 from my summer job on AAPL, but decided to just buy beer instead.

I did the math last year, IIRC it would have been close to $4,000,000 now
