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 sold on). Next I purchased a 12" PowerBook G4 which is proving to be equally resilient (now used by my wife).

I currently work on a 13" MacBook Pro provided through my work.
