I started at 11 with an Apple IIe then in junior high Mom got a Macintosh. Back then it was “Macintosh” not this new-fangled short version. After that things digressed into the PC swamp (though I never ran MS Windows at home) and have remained so for business. A few years ago I finally came back to the Mac universe with a 17″ iMac. Eventually I replaced my wife’s PC with a Macbook. We both have an iPod touch making this a purely Apple household. To pay the mortgage I work as a (non-Mac related) software developer. One of my many hobbies is learning to program my iPod. And yeah, I try to convert everyone I meet.
