Not long ago I got an interesting email from an old friend: he was planning to take the plunge and buy a Mac! Well he did it and after a slightly rocky start Bob seems to be really getting into his new toy.

Of course I told him the tradition of “unboxing” photos for Apple products and here’s the result:

• Bob Applegate: My First Mac

Now you might not think this is exactly a rave review but from a guy who once had to evaluate a piece of commercial software when we worked at Franklin Computer together and who, on a scale of 1 to 10, rated it a -35, trust me he really likes his iMac so far.

And by the way, the ACAMUG web site spent its first few years on Bob’s servers at Waterwheel Systems. And he didn’t even charge us for it!
