My mom? A PC person.
My dad? A Mac person.

I remember going to his office on campus and he’d have one or two of those original iMac computers (the ones with the big backs and transparent color cases) in there for his grad students to use. He also had one at his condo and we had a tangerine iBook clamshell.

Lotsa Mac, is what I’m saying.

Back in…junior high?…he gave me one of the old iMacs and I would set up a little cushion fort in the living room around the coffee table (where the iMac was) and just play and type and do random stuff on that computer.

One of the things I’d do was play with the MacInTalk voices because they were fun and I was 12.

Anyone else remember these?

That “Hey you! Yeah, you! Who do you think I’m talking to, the mouse?” whispered phrase still lives in my head today.
