I saw the first Mac ads and went to try one out.  Crashed several times 
in a few minutes.  So I bought an Amiga 1000.  When Amiga went under 
(sort of), Macs had evolved to be usable, and I switched.  I was about 
to switch to Windows 2000 because OS 9 was less reliable, but Apple 
saved themselves by switching to a Unix core and a much better GUI.
