His first Mac was a PowerBook 150 (school would have been twice as hard without that!), next came a 7100/80, and he now uses a MacTell XB Base Series 604E and dreams of getting a PowerBook again. (Hmmm... WallStreet II, or wait for the new 101s?) Bob recommends Macs, helps friends and family with their Macs, regularly haunts the rumor sites, and tends to "Think Different" all on his own.
