    an OS is a tool

    I’ve been supporting Mac, Windows and Linux for years. I find I can only truly keep up with two at a time, so every couple of years I switch windows -> OSX.

      I remember the first time I got to work on a Mac (for fun). I was about 9 years old and I just wanted to learn. I seen an option for a ram disk and made it fail to boot.

      Luckily my aunt had System 7.5 for Dummies. She was so mad at me.

      I had a Quadra not long after that and I loved it.

        I kind of skipped the time in between the Apple TV and the first Mac minis :)

        I sold a few quadras, They were really advanced for their time.

          I was still using my Quadra in 2002. I didn’t stop using it until 68k software stopped being made.

          It’s crazy but I remember it being a 640. Those apparently don’t exist so it must have been a 630 or a 650.

          It was not a tower, it sat flat so it couldn’t have been the 640av.

          This is driving me nuts lol.
