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.

Could be worse. Dad had a Gateway desktop. I'm still licking old wounds...

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

Over 40.

Laptops really weren't a thing back then.
