wow, lots of mac virgins here. welcome to the dark side
i actually started using macs in 1996 in Mac OS 7 days.
this was my first mac
OS 7 and 8 were so bad, that i swore off not to touch another mac ever again and went all Slackware linux, skipping OS9 alltogether.
But i in January 2005 i went and bought a G4 Mac mini, on the day it became available in stores. 15" PowerBook shortly after that, then 1st generation 15" MacBook Pro, and now 1st generation 15" Unibody MacBook Pro.
G4 Mac mini is still alive and kicking it, and my kid uses it every day. I have another Intel mini perma-hooked up to my TV running
Plex.
That, plus 4 iPods and on my 2nd iPhone
i guess i am a fanboy...
EDIT: Oh, and im using a hackintosh at work, because my boss is too cheap to buy me a mac mini, i've been asking for...
