It was a Mac Plus with 1 Megabyte of RAM and a dual-sided floppy disk drive that handled 800 Kilobyte disks. A year or so later, I bought my first hard drive with 32 Megabytes of storage.

Although the tech has improved exponentially, I’ve never looked back and I’ve had dozens of Apple products since then. Not one device has ever failed me. I’ll stick with Apple.

Besides, everything they make is cool including the packaging!
