Just out of curiosity how many people here were using the Mac back in the days when it was PowerPC running inside of the Macs instead of mojo from Intel?
I started in 1972 @ UCLA using punch cards on the mainframe with PLC.
Played ‘Hunt the Wumpus’ with friends @ UCI ~ 1973-74 via terminal and 150 baud modem.
Used Pharmacology training programs loaded via cassette in 1975 @ UCSF ( unknown system )
Bought a used Apple ][ with 16k of RAM and a single floppy drive in 1978, upgraded to 64k ( plugged in individual chips onto the MB… ) when I could afford it.
Have also owned…( a few were our kid’s machines ) Apple ][+, Apple][e, Apple ][c, Mac 512 (Fat Mac), Mac Plus, Mac SE, Mac SE/30, Mac II, Mac IIx, Mac IIci, Mac IIfx, Mac Quadra 900, Mac Quadra 950, Power Mac 7200, Power Mac 7500, Power Mac 8500, Power Mac G3 (beige), Power Mac G4, Power Mac G5, iMac G3, iMac G4, iMac G5 20”, iMac Core Duo 20”, iMac Core 2 Duo 20”, iBook G3, iBook G4, MacBook Core Duo, MacBook Core 2 Duo, MacBook Core 2 Duo (Black), PowerBook 17”, MacBook Pro 15” Core i7 (2010), MacBook Pro 15” core i7 Quad (2011), MacMini G4, MacMini Core 2 Duo, MacMini Core 2 Duo 2GHz, MacMini SL Server 2.5GHz Core 2 Duo.

Apple still makes the best laptops ( especially the current MBP and MBA ), MacMinis can’t be beat for a small size, low power ( and current models good horsepower.. ) server and TV control computers… ( IMHO )
My list makes me feel
OLD.
EDIT: My first calculator was a Texas Instruments SR 10; it was called an 'electronic slide rule calculator'.
