I remember seeing the first mac in my life around 90 (I was in Brazil, crazy import laws made macs insanely rare there, as the market was completely dominated by government protected companies doing PC clones and a sizable market of small PC builders working mostly from smuggled parts that didn't need to pay the outrageous import tarifs)

It was something for me out of a science fiction movie compared to the PC running DOS. Every single motherfucking detail seemed to have been carefully thought of.

This was in the home of girlfriend who had a rich journalist father (another relic from the 90s) and was able to import his macs via some government contacts, I think.

We would eventually break up, and it would take me another 10 years to finally get a mac again, now this time, a G3 laptop.

Whatever people say, I am still in love with the Mac. You don't forget your first loves so easily.
