I was one of three blokes working at IBM in 1983 that physically unwrapped the first-ever PC into Australia. I know just how far Microsoft has come.

I was an Apple user in 81 and went to the Mac pre-launch at AUSOM in 83 (from memory). Some clown called out 'but can it play games' [laughter]. The answer is still 'no'
I also still remember this exchange:
my Dad: 'hey I just read IBM are going to make their own personal computer. That will change everything'
me: (fooling around with 300 baud modem) 'yea right'
