Old home week here I grew up in Silicon Valley before it was Silicon Valley. Only computer we had in high school was a timeshare terminal to a mainframe at Moffet Field. College was the same thing, timeshare terminals to a large IBM in the basement, runnung fishery stastistical studies.
First home computer I remember was a Northstar my Dad had. I programmed a real estate property comp program in basic.
Any home computers after that were some type of Apple. In those days Apple was the anti-establishment, so that was right up my radical alley 512k+, apple ][, one of the first apple laptops, cant remember them all. G3, G4, a few iMacs, powerbooks... Along the way were a few Linux laptops. We've never owned a windows computer at home, but I use them at work.
Funny how Apple was the radical, and Microsoft was 'the man'. Now its reversing.
