A long, long time ago, my very first computer was a Macintosh Plus with 284K of memory, no hard drive (and no second diskette slot, something I envied newer Macs owners for) and a 2 inch screen... almost.
Then, in the early 90's I dropped $5K on a shiny new Mac and until 2002 the Mac was my primary machine. However, due to my corporate webmaster position, I always had a dual machine set up. Slowly but surely, my PC took the place of my Mac and when I started working on my own, my newest box was a PC and most of my software licenses were for PC. It was only natural that my next computer would be a PC.

My Windows Vista machine recently "forgot " that when I type "localhost" in my browser it would really be a good idea if I could get to my XAMPP homepage.

It is intended for biographical data on people you see in photos, but immediately I figured I could really use it for adding interactive elements to my tutorials.
