My ancestors arrived by wagon train in the 1850’s and 1860’s and settled on donation land claims in the hills East of Salem. I live in the house in which my father was literally born in 1913. Hey! We’re not stuck in a rut (pardon the pun) – we’re stable.<\/p>\n
I received my Bachelors in Electronics Engineering in 1969 from Oregon State specializing in solid state device technology and radio frequency communication.<\/p>\n
My first Apple product was an Apple II+ in 1980 with the newly available 48K ram configuration and two new 140K 5.25″ drives (whee…….). In the ’90’s I moved to Apple II gs’s, ultimately with accelerators and hard drives on slot cards. Then a 300 MHz Wallstreet laptop arrived on the scene with ultimately a plethora of battery and drive modules.<\/p>\n
2000 brought a 400 MHz Power PC PowerMac with ultimately a 1.4 GHz accelerator card, three HDD’s, and another plethora of external drives. Then came a MacBook Pro 17″ laptop in 2012 with a rare high speed 2.5 GHz processor, and I later upgraded the HDD to an SSD, to make it nicely fast.<\/p>\n
Lastly, in 2014 I found a MacPro with a rare high capacity 3.46 GHz (which actually was available from Apple if you dug sufficiently deep into the options) Xeon six core processor and an SSD boot drive with a couple of HDD’s. Which I continue to use with Mojave OS 14. Something tells me there’s a Mac Studio in my future.<\/p>\n
Oh, and there’s been three iPhones and two iPads.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
