There is an SE/30, lurking in our spare bedroom, which we keep meaning
to add to our network. It is such a sweet little machine and means that
MS Office 98 contains the only Assistant I really like, because it
resembles one of them.

Yes we are talking Terminal here I'm afraid, and compiling and terminal
based working is not to everyones taste - possibly more so on the Mac
platform I suspect as until OS X I believe it was GUI all the way (and
from what I've read not a nice developers platform, although some pretty
good stuff was written for it all the same so some must have liked it!).
I'm afraid I came up through the ZX81, Spectrum, Amstrad CPC6128 and
then onto the Amiga. The idea of a mouse and a GUI was somewhat alien
back then and I couldn't quite see the real benefit, but all the new
systems had them and the graphics and capabilities of the Amiga were
mouth watering! Having used the Amiga and got to like the GUI, Windows
looked like a poor substitute and of no use for any serious work and it
wasn't until OS/2 that I ventured x86. I sometimes wonder what would
have been different in my computer usage if I'd tried a Mac back then. I
worked for IBM though, so we only used them for hard drive testing (and
dragging the floppy icon over the shredder to eject was just plain scary
to me!).
I have a small collection of Macs now, and I just had to rescue the SE
from being sent to the scrap recyclers for breaking down :) I also
rescued a couple of Acorn A7000 boxes, so that probably places me firmly
in the sad techie department! I'm working on an office rejig to fit my
most powerful Mac in so I can use it - a tray loading iMac (266). I've
had the rest hooked up to the network from a 460 through 475, 630 and
6320. Sadly the HD in my 7600/120 died otherwise that would still be
there.
