Computing

In 1996 I purchased my first system based around and Apple Performa 6500 and two AppleVision AV monitors.

Keeping pace and becoming portable

Since then I have owned various Apple computers including the first generation of PowerMac G4, a PowerBook G3 and then two PowerBook G4s.

I find the versatility of portable computing far outweighs the power benefits of a desktop machine. My first 15" PowerBook G4 did excellent service, withstanding being transported over 30,000 miles in my motorcycle pannier and is still working perfectly (now used by my kids). Then I purchased a 12" PowerBook G4 which is proving to be equally resilient (now used by my wife).

I currently work on a black MacBook provided through my work.
