Lol. Yea 20 years ago - you were definitely on the forefront! But, you still probably know more about them than your average user - such as me if I ever got one.
I wish I could afford a Mac. Maybe one day.
Mac Minis area.good way to go. I use them to run my TVs, a 2012 Mac Mini server can run the latest software even today. I bought one last week fo inder $300. Installed an SSD and a couple memory sticks fo under 200.00and mad an $800.00 machine out off it. Of course depending on what you ar using it for you can get new 2014 models pretty cheap. You can also find some pretty good iMacs fairly cheap, but they are very had to upgrade anything except memory.
