Remember, while I'm a Linux dork today, 'twasn't always so. I grew up with Macs.

The first computer my parents got, when I was four, was a Macintosh LC, which wasn't bad for the time: it could handle up to 16-bit color and it had both a floppy drive and a CD drive built in. Eventually, we upgraded to a blue-and-white G3, and while I did try installing Mac OS X on it at one point, performance was bad enough (and I depended on Classic applications enough) that until I switched to Linux in January 2007, I stuck with OS 9—the last Macintosh operating system that represented Apple in its older, lovably clunky, truly bohemian incarnation, before the age of the iPod and the iPhone and the iPad and Apple's market capitalization surpassing Dell's.

Do you see now? I'm the ultimate hipster. I was into Macs before they were cool.

(Eighty out of… okay, enough of that.)
