Maybe a repeat (rebeat?
- funny typo I had to correct), but anyway ...Et ceterum censeo: No pasarán.

Since my day job is a writer, I have to put in the hours metaphorically putting words on paper. Though, these days, paper is a dinosaur, as everything gets typed into electronic documents on my Mac. But every once in awhile, it's nice to do things the old-fashioned way, and actually write down words with a writing implement. What were they called, anyway, those antique tools? Oh, yes, I remember now... the word is 'pen'.
And as most carpenters (or for that matter, musicians) will tell you, using good tools... seems to make the finished product better.

Steve, a Mac SE was the first computer I bought. Along with a dot matrix printer. It required a lot of 3.5” disc swapping to load programs!

And it was the envy even of those with other early "cult" computers: I had an Atari 1040STE as my first own computer (I had started out on my family's Commodore VC20 - cassette loading; by that time, we had moved to a PC, though, but I styled myself as a musician in my late teens/early twenties), but nevertheless preferred the Mac SEs we were using at university - more elegant (simple, straightforward), more stable. However, Apple machines were so much more expensive that I moved to PCs myself when leaving home. Never happy, but I could afford them and learned how to use them in spite of all their shortcomings.
I also remember my first hard drive. 20MB! 12 kilos! Quite the achievement ... However, it ate one of my course papers two days before of the deadline. Talk about a blow ... Although, come to think of it ... This accident, for the first time, forced me to unpack my ability to produce *a lot* of text in a very short time if I have to. Not the worst of assets.

P.S. Had this brewing since this morning - but other stuff got in the way.
My first was an IBM PC, dual 5.25 floppies. That is still the best keyboard I ever had on a computer.
