Correct. I have never owned anything in the X86 family. Ever. Similar to the other thread, I've owned an Atari 800, then 1200XL, and a SOL-20. Then, I merely used my employer's computers until I could afford my first laptop, a Powerbook 140 (on which I wrote Learning Perl, first edition). I've gone through about 20 Mac laptops since then, and a couple of desktop machines.

The computer that runs http://www.stonehenge.com is rented, and does in fact run with an X86 chip (an Athalon running OpenBSD). So, I'm careful to say "owned" for my claim.
