Mac
So. I've been using my new and shiny Apple MacBook for a week or so. And it is quite, quite suberb.
My computing history basically runs thus:
1) BBC-B. A great little computer. Mostly used for playing Repton.
2) Acorn Achimedies. A very easy to use, easy to learn computer. My first real experience of programming and so on.
3) At around the same time my dad made the leap from CP/M to DOS/Windows 3.11 and brought a pretty powerful (for its time) 486DX PC and i began to take an interest.
and i've been using PCs pretty much exclusively ever since. Going over to Mac OS X is awfully like going back to the Acorn. Things just *work* and look so, so elegant.
