I also remember punch cards, they made us use them in my undergrad Fortan class for "historic perspective". What a pain. I used Macs in college but never owned one. We also used a big mainframe (both high school and college) with orange monochrome touch screens that felt squishy when you pressed them, called PLATO - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PLATO_(computer_system).
It's nice to be back to Mac.

Oh, sorry, I should have clarified the horrible resolution options on Macs. Until recently any size other than the 17" just didn't have the resolution I needed. I owned one of those Dells before and can never go back to anything less than 1920x1200. I did own a 15" Powerbook for awhile and I felt constrained every time I worked on it and ended up just using it as a web browsing/email machine.
19, going to kollage cuz I smart!!! 
But seriously, just finishing up my freshman year in college. I just bought a 15" i7 after using an old iBook G4.

14 with a 13" MacBook Pro June 2009 (X-mas 09) and a 17" MacBook Pro Penryn Early 2008 (May 08) I admit it I manipulated my dad for the 17" But saved for the 13" About 40% and santa(momandgrandmom) bought the rest "Hint hint" although for the manipulation for the 17" there was a personal reason behind it
18. Bought my mid-range 15" MBP last August. Wanted to wait to this summer before I go off to college but my Acer laptop was breaking in a different way every day. I plan on using this one all through college, then I'll reward myself and buy a new MBP.

Just got a mid-2007 15" that I'm fixing up before I use it to replace my early 2009 mini.

My family has had computers my whole life. When I was a kid, we had huge computers that took paper tape and computers that took punch cards. We also had a modem which was larger than a modern desktop computer, where you had to lay the phone receiver and speaker on the cradle no electrical connection between the phone and the modem. After that, we had a TRS-80 with a very low res monochrome screen, which could use cassette tapes and a cassette player for input. And then we got a drive which could take 16K 5.25" floppy disks! At that time, the computer magazines included programs by printing out the entire programs for you to type in, by hand.

funny though. with all the heated "is XXX graphics card and processor good/isn't good enough?" questions in this forum i expected to see more people use it for pro-photography/video, computer gaming, AutoCAD design etc
