Same here. I went from an Apple IIe to a Macintosh SE. It was a nice computer for typing high school papers on (yay PageMaker 1.0), and the GUI of System 5 was beautiful on the little black-and-white screen. There was some hacking involving fonts, inits, and ResEdit, but despite despite getting a C compiler and a few books, I never was comfortable programming on it, and always felt like there was something missing.

Two years later I got a '386 clone, bought Turbo C and all the fun came back at once.
