How long have you been a Mac user?

[OutThere]

My parents bought a Quadra 800 when I was 5 in 1993. I played lots of Zoo Keeper on it. I got my own lime-flavored G3 iMac for Christmas in 1999.

I purchased my first mac in July 2006. I have been a mac user for longer, my school always had them around.

1995 - Family bought a PowerMac 7500 with a whopping 16 MB of Ram and 1GB HD. All for a cool A$5000. We didn't buy a new Mac for another 8 years, it just wouldn't die.

I've been a Mac user all my life, our first mac was the Classic when I was 3.
I have a picture of me using the Classic at that age with a teddy bear on my lap.

My dad has had Macs for a long time, but the first one I used was a Powerbook 100 back in 5th or 6th grade. I love, and still love, that computer. It had a super spiffy Apple printer, too.

In October 2005 was when I first seriously began exploring the world of Mac....and mid-month I brought home my first Mac, the rev B G5 iMac, and have been hooked ever since! This is now a totally Mac household, all the Windows PCs and Windows software banished.....

Since July 2004. Still on my original PB 12" 1.33. Other than replacing the HD, it has been great

Yes, I remember the Apple ][ in college and after.

Those were the days.

I too started using macs in 1984 when my best friend got one. I didn't get my own until 1987 -- a used Mac 512. I was a "switcher" from a Commodore 64.

My first real Mac owning experience was in 2006 with a BlackBook... right before the big influx of Mac buyers (I didn't convert because any advertisement, I converted because of a friend, well... a roommate with an iBook I was with during a 10 day journey around Europe... it was iMovie that initially did if for me).
