I don’t link much to computer stuff here, but I found the above link on MetaFilter yesterday, and I thought it was neat.
And I’m not a Mac person, but I thought these were really cool as well: a 40-page Macintosh ad from Newsweek in 1984, and a series of posters commemorating the 20th anniversary of the Mac. There’s some more interesting stuff if you poke around the main site.
This all makes me feel like I’m a kid again. Sigh.
Sometimes I wish I’d grown up on Macs. They’re elegant and simple, but I’ve never been able to get used to them. I used a Mac at work for an entire year a while back, and I still preferred my PC. Had I had a Mac as a kid, perhaps I’d be a Mac person today, and I could be part of the Cult of Mac.
And now you must prepare for the onslaught of Mac Users who will give you chapter and verse on why Macs are the only way to go and how PCs are the technological equivalent of toasters.
I am perfectly comfortable using both. When I last bought a computer, a PC (well, a laptop really) suited my needs and was much less expensive then the equivalent Ibook or PowerBook.
Don’t sweat it, Tin Man.
