My first "personal computer" was a Sinclair ZX-81, followed by an Amstrad CPC 464 (the home computer market was dominated by British companies during the 1980ies in Europe). Then a second hand HP-150, my first and only DOS/Windows computer. For a programming job I had to buy my first Macintosh in 1994, a Power Macintosh 7100. Because we worked with large digital elevation models whose data volume at that time either required a mainframe computer or a unix workstation. Or a Macintosh, the only affordable alternative then. Never went away from the Macintosh after that which makes it 30 years for me. Currently I use a 2011 model Mac Book Pro that still goes strong, but for serious image or video processing I borrow my wife's M1 pro based Mac Book. An incredible machine, the most beautiful display I have ever seen in terms of colour and contrast, very fast and yet a battery charge lasts for over 10 hours. Regards Max |
