Re: Mac or PC
I think it's fair to say you took from the blog what you wanted and left behind a whole lof of other stuff that in context tells a bit of a different story.
History of the Graphical User Interface (GUI) « Technical Conclusions Don't believe everything you read on the internet.

I did offer the website address to you in a previous post, there is also a book on the history of the user interface.

Re: Mac or PC
Mind you I had to keep the Amiga craving a secret - or my Dad would have killed me! Can't even begin to think of the amount of £££ he spent on computers for me! He also got me my first Apple - so I guess he is to blame for my addiction!
