I want to add here that the first Apple computer I ever worked on was a MAC SE where I ran a bookkeeping program for a retail biz (2nd job). It was small with a B/W monitor attached to the computer.
My OWN first personal computer (still in the “bulletin board” era) was a Mac Quadra 610 – DOS compatible, running at a 68K clock-speed with a Motorola processor running on “System 7.1” and eventually “System 8” with an Apple (Sony Trinitron) Display.
It had a “superdrive” which could read DOS-formatted floppies and SUPERIOR photo editing capabilities which we used CONSTANTLY (Adobe Photoshop). With an ultra-wide SCSI card, we hooked up an external Apple 2x CD player and a 2 gig “LaCie” internal HD, among other “goodies” and maxed it out in both system memory and video memory. At that time, we had about $3300 in it. It NEVER crashed and was VERY fun to use until the advent of JAVA when web pages took a l-o-o-ong time to load on it, lol (abt 2001-2002). It was built like a tank. Someday, I will get an “updated” MAC. They are the most reliable and innovative computers ever invented :=)
