My family’s home computer was a MacMini (running Mavericks). As a high schooler at the time, I loved the simplicity of navigation and creation. My first smartphone was an iPhone 5s.
I stuck with them for my undergrad because I didn’t know otherwise. Windows felt like a downgrade at the time and gnu+linux or bsd were not on my radar.
I loved the hardware. I loved the integration between my mac and my phone. I learned to use the command line and make my mac incredibly powerful and fast. Its the hardware and software I used throughout my undergraduate and graduate programs and I continue to use it in my career in the museum field.
I now hop back and forth between macOS and FreeBSD, but it’s all on Apple hardware.
