Get a Mac
Heard this one for the first time about nine years ago, when I started work in a small new media company where we had machines of all shapes and brands.

My mom has the First Piano Concerto on an LP and in my childhood I have turned it a countless number of times. So many, it seems, that today I know by heart it’s beutiful first movement.
