I've been a follower of Apple since I first saw one of their computers
in 1983!

Jonathan is a "Top Bloke" in my opinion!

A few of our academics had the Apple I and Apple II .
Fo me I preffered the commodore PET at the time.

It wasn't until the Macintosh Plus that I liked them even the 128K and the 512K seemed slow and
a pain to use.
I preffered the BBC acorns until I could finally afford a colour Mac which was a LC475.
