Why I became a Mac User in 2006

I started  in 1978 with a TRS 80 from Radio Shack with 4k that died whenever you turned it off so you had to store it on cassette tape and feed it back into the CPU every time you started it up whatever programming you wanted to load which was then in the Basic Language. I taught my older kids born in 1971, 1973 and 1974 how to program their own games and taught them how to design games using the basic language. In college in 1966 I first started to learn COBOL (a business programming language still used by the way) and Fortran (I just found out that Fortran is still used today too. Then, I bought in 1987 an IBM clone and an Epson Color printer together in Silicon Valley for 2500 Dollars and taught my kids who were 16, 15, and 13 how to program in MS-DOS which basically meant "Microsoft Disk Operating System". I really liked MSDOS and so did my kids because it also allowed you still to program in the Basic language at that time. EVery successsive Microsoft language allows you to do less and less things yourself and more and more you are shut out if you are a tech for the most part ongoing.

I was kind of getting tired by 1995 of PC's crashing all the time in the middle often of a very important program I was running for my businesses or running a game or even calculating a Fractal Art project (which took about 24 hours to calculate and print out about then for one art drawing on a fractal printed out in color on a piece of printer paper. The fractal part was likely around 1987 or 1988 on the AT. I and my son and step son owned various pentiums before I bought my first Macbook pro likely around 2006 I believe when the first Macbook pros came out.

So, finally in 2006 I bought my first Macbook Pro Laptop. I think I had had a couple of PC Laptops by then but this was my first Macbook pro. So, I began every few years buying a new Macbook pro 15 inch laptop which is what I presently have too. I think it was a 2009 I eventually bought and then a 2015 Macbook pro I'm working on right now. I like the fact that they don't crash all the time from viruses most of all. There are some drawbacks (like they aren't good for gaming like PCs are) but I'm not a gamer only my son is. He likes to build his own PC desktops custom made for gaming. And sometimes he will build a PC desktop for his friends or friends of my wife and I too. The last one cost about 700 dollars in parts but he had Amazon prime so that saved over 300 dollars in shipping the parts to him as Amazon prime has free shipping in addition to many other benefits as well.
