I started on a Mac and now I'm an IT expert.

But that's because my next computer was a Dell.

My condolences, on both counts.

I started with a DEC Alpha CP/M, then moved to a Macintosh SE. And yes, I do IT. Where does that place me?

Was it a desktop mac? I feel like only laptop macs should count for the experiment.
