Possibly having a laptop without a password is overall a Very Bad Idea?
I started with a photocopied binder of the Human Interface Guidelines in 1984. Things started downhill with the OS asking -are you sure- on ShutDown, just to appease switchers from Windows where you were never sure what was about to happen.
Mac OSX, soon to be MacOS, is a good combination of an free BSD foundation with a user interface built on top. I think it's now being polluted by IOS with it's reverse-scrolling touch interface and 'apps stores'. The scroll bars are half the width and as likely to move the whole window as scroll it.
But, I was there for the birth of the Personal PC, and the era of $25 G4 PowerMacs and $75 Mac Minis. Used Minis, which are my favorite because they have no microphone and no webcam, are all but unobtainable locally.
