And google

There was no Google when I was 18. Jesus if I had somehow been able to buy Microsoft and Apple ... But at the time Apple wasn't looking too good.

Google was very new when I was 18. The best time for me to buy apple was when I was 14. Something like $0.35 a share in the early-mid 90s.

Yeah, I should've thought to buy when the iMac came out. It was pretty clear they were on a good trajectory. I had money then too. Easy to say in hindsight though. Hell I should've bought some nVidia a year ago lol.
