I started with System 7 on the Mac and because of that I had to quickly learn ResEdit and hex editing. Ironically this made me better later in life with windows and Linux, that shit is a breeze in comparison.

Also HyperCard fucking slapped

Correlation does not imply causation though...

Indeed. It can hint towards more required research.

I used an Apple IIe in 1st grade. With the big 5.25in floppys. Learned logo and figured out how to make spirograms using recursive patterns.

Much later we got a Dell P90 and win 95 before going through the rest of windows releases up through win 7. I figured out Linux in high school at some point, but that’s more of a hobby from time to time.

But also used os/7/8/9 at school and later switched to Mac in general.

I wish Linux existed when I was twelve.

It did when I was, and it was a nightmare even though I was very tech savvy

It’s so much better now

Seems like one of those bell curve memes with macOS on the left and right and windows in the center

Jokers to the right
