Growing up, I didn't know a single person personally who owned a Mac. I only knew Macs from schools and the handful of teachers I knew who'd bought the new PowerBooks ca 2002.
I also had experience existing in the 90s. They were extremely niche.
And going into the 2000s, I knew plenty of people with an iPod, but no Mac.
