I have only ever really owned three computers..

1. Slide rule

2. Sinclair ZX81 + extra 2x 16kb memory (!) now a frisbee

3. Atari 1040STE bought in 1993....in use and still working faithfully every day!

looking to buy a MAC (any offers of sale?)

haha yeah, super geek!

First off was a Sinclair ZX Spectrum then...
Commodore Amiga
Then from 91 it was Macs all the way 'cos I work in graphics.

Still running G4 dual for tunes and have G4 Powerbook. Want a G5 but gonna wait another year at least.
I usually wait at least 3 years between comps so when I get the new one there's a huge difference. Also saves spunking cash that is better of elsewhere.

Peeeez, D
