I was perhaps 19 years old the first time I came face-to-face with an Apple computer. It was a small, tan, square box with a monochrome screen smaller than any I had ever seen. I was a college student embarking on my new job as a “Mac lab” assistant. In comparison to the rest of my “techie” co-workers, I was a newbie … I had NO clue how to work those foreign-looking devices.
