I had the unique fortune of having one at home when I was in my very early adolescence (born 1981) because apparently my mother had one on loan from the institution she worked for as a statistician. It was perhaps one of the most influential pieces of technology in my life (along with my later BeBox running BeOS).

The machine was truly unique and the look and feel of the GUI still represents an almost global maximum in my aesthetic sensibilities. The programming model undergirds my expectations of what a ‘modern’ development environment should be like.

A truly formative, almost ineffably mythical, experience.
