content: So, I went home with my Mac, Mac software Mac Write and Mac Paint, and the Apples Imagewriter Printer. It was great. The more I learn the better. The problem was disk swapping. And I need an external disk drive. The one that you have is one of the early Apple disk drive for the Mac. And made life much better then making 10,20,30 disk swaps to save something." Penland became a dedicated user of Apple Mac computers, and reported in July of 2023 that he had owned over 19 of them in the past 39 years. He found it particularly useful in setting up visual paths in his work as a professional photographer.
