For my formative years as a teenager, I was a Windows PC user. It started with a Dell desktop running Windows 98 as the only computer in our house, complete with ADSL dial-up modem, MSN messenger and the entire suite of possible antivirus programs. As I delved deeper into the world of the internet, I learned of the Mac and it became my dream to own a Mac.

Achieving that dream would take many years, and in the meantime, the household desktop was replaced by one running Windows NT, Windows Vista and then Windows 7. Each new release of Windows bought me to yet another round of frustrations, not least with the sheer amount of viruses and blue screens of death caused by driver issues (amongst many things). Safe to say, my frustrations boiled over and I jumped at the chance to buy my first Mac.

It's been about 15 years since I used a Windows PC as my main computer, and while I've dabbled with a few – either when reviewing them or when fixing my late father's computer – I've always felt a level of relief when I moved back to the Mac.
