Title:  The Mac

My first real personal computer was an [Osborne 1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osborne_1), running the CP/M operating system. 

But a few years later I got my first chance to use a Mac to do some desktop publishing, and I was a convert. 

I eventually found myself forced to use a series of Window computers for my corporate day job, but it was nothing but Macs at home from then on (even during the dark years of the late nineties, when it seemed that Apple was on the ropes, and might not recover). 

And then, with the return of Steve Jobs, and the launch of OS X, my love affair with the Mac only grew. 

And, despite the various ups and downs over the years, and the emergence of other computing form factors and OS variations, the Mac is still my favorite computing device, hands down. 

And I consider the Mac user interface to be one of the world's great inventions.
