I used some Apple computers in 1994, but our household didn't get our first computer until 2000, which was a blue iMac.

I first used some version of an apple performa comp back when I was in grade 1. I then used windows until oct 2008 when I bought my first computer, the unibody MBP. The funny part was, I never even used an os x machine before I bought it! In fact I only finally used a windows machine with vista, a month or so before windows seven was released.

Haha, reading that it sounds like I'm saying 2008 was a long time ago!

I started using Apple on a ][e in 4th grade. I taught myself some simple BASIC programming for a school project.

That Christmas my Dad bought the family an Apple //c with a color monitor and an ImageWriter II printer. (Ahh the nostalgia of 4 color printer ribbons and PrintShop!)

I'm pretty sure he paid close to $3500 for that setup!
