@rl_dane@polymaths.social @computerchronicles@mastodon.social I remember that time. Apple was a joke.
Though looking back the dominance of M$ made everything pretty dire.
(I wasnt in academia or telco so missed the boat on Sun and the BSDs. Linux was cute but a massive pain in the arse)

@oxy@social.bsdlab.au @computerchronicles@mastodon.social Yeah. I enjoy taking the wee out of Apple these days, but back in the day as an Apple fan, I was like, "How are we losing to these idiots?!?" Of course, 2026 me knows the reason: "Because ain't nobody got time or money to pay $2,500 for an entry-level computer!!!"
