The first Mac came out in 1984 (remember the TV ad from the Super Bowl). Of course, there were other Apple computers before that.

4. I was thinking the same. However, if you split the 80's down the middle, that's |

My college was one of the first to ink a student price deal with Apple. Still, I paid more than $2,000 for technology that comes in most cell phones now.

I've had a Mac Plus, a PowerBook 145B, a Performa, an iBook G3, an iBook G4, and a G5 iMac. A friend introduced me to the Mac Plus back in '87, and I was hooked. But I have to use a PC for work, unfortunately.

I bought a Macbook Pro 2 days ago after the DVD drive in my Toshiba Sattelite went kaput. I'd worked on macs a lot but never owned one. It is so much better than PC It really was one of those cases where I didn't realise just how bad Windows organization and functionality is until I got out.
Did I mention how much I love my MacBook? Not to mention they even gave me a 300 buck student discount because Im taking a class as a technical college. I'm a Mac convert. I'm just sad I have to buy Sims 2 again.
