My Dad got the family’s first Mac, a Mac LCII with monochrome monitor, upgraded to color (thousands of colors!) at a later date, when I was about 10 years old. He had to get one for translation work of a client who were Mac-based, and this was in the bad old days when interoperability was an unheard-of concept, right up there with plug & play, and the World Wide Web was yet to be invented.
Now, over 20 years later, the tables are turning. My parents have my old iMac, and have bought an additional one, and use their Windows PCs mainly for either mundane tasks (checking e-mail), or because one of their clients sent a document in a format they can’t read on their Macs.
