First computer that could do more than spell 8008135 was an Apple IIc. It was portable! Portable and not Laptop because it had a power brick and an 80 column green screen to lug around, or could plug it into my Color TV! Was writing a program to do WYSIWYG to output to a typesetter when Aldus came out with Pagemaker for the Mac. Sold IIc and got a Mac. Used the first digital linotype in OKC for typesetting.
Currently have a 2015 15in Powerbook with 2.8Ghz i7, 16GB Ram, 1TB SSD, and 2 27in displays each with speakers and camera.
And yep, I run a Virtual Windows PC on the MacOS.
Once, back in the day, ran emulation software on my Mac to simulated DOS then software that simulated flying and R/C airplane (with controller that simulated an R/C radio) that was like flying real airplanes. Was told that was way geeky cool.
