Hard to believe now, but there was a time when most people didn't own anything 'Made in California'
37 Signals recalls what it was like to be different and own Apple,
We had to deal with incompatibilities of all kind. There was the ridicule of overpriced shiny white plastic. We were somewhere in between the “first they ignore you” and the “then they laugh at you” state of adoption. But for those of us who endured it, the result was not disillusion but a hardening of the resolve. Macs were (and are) just better. Not just because they were better built or put together, but because Apple was a better company. A braver company. A company that stood for higher ideals. When compared to the empire of Microsoft and the Dells, Sonys of the time, it simply felt like they were more right.
The first Apple product I used was this, I owned (and wrote my dissertation) on this, and I concur with this.
