I started on Apple 2 then Macs. Then used my graduation money to build a PC with just released Windows 98, Monster Voodoo video card a few months later (off of eBay no less).
Gamed and worked through my design degree on windows before switching back to Mac when it went Intel, and because I was working in web development and l dealing with Linux servers all day, but also needed Photoshop and layer Sketch (a nice vector UI design tool) and later as I ditched Adobe in my own company, Pixelmator (a nice Photoshop replacement).
I know a little Vi, I know a bit about spinning up servers and Ruby on Rails, pretty comfortable with a terminal/cli, have a few RPis around the house, and I grew up on and still use Macs.
