Hi Steve,

That was a great story. Thank you for posting it. My first experience with Apple was a Lisa inside of our Engineering Department at my work. We had all of these PCs and terminals in the company and everyone seemed to be tag-teaming each other for Lisa time.

Being a printer, I was amazed of the fonts and computer artwork that anyone could do from a Mac. Apple pioneered desktop publishing. Eventually our in-plant print shop department was able to get a Macintosh of our own. It was kind of hard because the IT guys were claiming that an IBM PC could do the same things for a lot cheaper, but when you actually tried it on a PC, it certainly never measured up to what the Mac could do.

We often forget how far the Macintosh (and computing in general) has come in the last few years and how Apple did it so differently than Dell, HP, or Microsoft. Thank you for posting this.
