I never liked Mac very much. I remember friends with Apple IIgs systems.
The system was fine I guess but it never appealed to me for whatever reason.
In high school I also had to deal with an old apple computer for my typesetting. Never considered the computer to be better than a PC counterpart.
Once the 386 architecture was defined it was the doom of Apple imho. The 486 solidified that and Windows became the defacto OS for many businesses and hom computers. The pentium series sealed the deal.
So sometime in 1999 I had my office and I had this talented new employee but he insisted he work on a Mac since that was his experience. We went out and bought 2 imac computers to hook up to our network. I fought with him about it but I caved and went for it. Eventually I realized for sure how much I disliked Macs as I would watch him work at a snails pace in comparison to someone on a PC. The OS was horrid and seemed unable to multitask well. The one button mouse was insanity.
Eventually I fired him, sold the imacs, and have cursed Apple since that day.
