Yes, although I had a couple of old PCs when I taught, it was mostly Apples. My first Apple laptop, courtesy of a grant I worked on for 2 years (they gave us 20K , I really had to work!), I used for a very long time, from 2002 until 2007. If I had taken it home, no one would have known, since it was not in the school system's inventory, but I gave it to a younger teacher, who is now a principal. My first computer at home was a Mac clone desktop (yes, there were a few), which cost much less than the real ones. I had that until about 2005, when I got an I Mac desktop. I think I got my first laptop in 2007, and I gave the desktop to my son, who used it to watch movies... I had the heavy, white laptop for only a couple of years; when I was in school, I really needed something better. I got the computer i have now in 2009, which makes it old, but it is perfectly fine for me.
