For as long as I can remember, I have always been a Windows person. My first computer was a beat up old system running Windows 3.1, it wasn’t that useful, but for me as a child, it was life changing. I learned how to play solitaire, i dragged things around on a desktop, I threw stuff in the trash can, but it was all digital and it was awesome.

Other than the horrid experiences of a broken disk two in Oregon Trail, I knew nothing of the world of Macintosh.
