Speak for yourself, this Mac is 7 years old I am not an early adopter
I bought my first Mac, an SE in ~1988, I still have it here in my bedroom, upgraded to SE30, total cost inc. the upgrade, £3,500 + £1,000 for scanner and £2,500 for the LaserPrinter, all early adopter.
Since then I have had innumerable Macs, new and used, large and small, including the 'luggable' Mac portable. I currently have two Mac minis, a Mac Book pro, an old iMac G5 which gives me access to OS 9.1; and my Pride and Joy, bought two years ago, an early 2009 Mac Pro 4.1 which I have hacked the firmware to 5.1 and is running High Sierra via PCIe SSDs.
I have several other Macs 'in the loft'! About eight years ago I had a clear out and completely filled my Volvo estate with unwanted Mac gear to take to the recycling depot.
Not to mention a succession of iPhones and an iPad for which I have yet to find a real use. Although I have had it on surveillance duty using an app called 'cambush' which turns it into a security camera, activated by movement in the field of view. We have some unwanted rodents in the back yard and I am trying to monitor their activities, so perhaps the iPad isn't entirely useless.
So that's my speak on AAS!
