[indigoimac]

A PowerBook 150 w. a Personal Laser Writer 300, then nothing after it died until the original Bondi iMac, then that became an indigo iMac, along w. an iBook G3 700Mhz, then a 15" AlBook, then the C2D iMac in the sig and the MBP in the sig.

[analogika]

1989: Used Macintosh SE, 1MB RAM / 20MB Seagate Hard drive / 800k floppy drive / Apple Extended Keyboard.

Came with an ImageWriter II with Sheet Feeder.

[Faust]

My first Apple items were a PowerMac Dual 1.8GHz G5 and a 23" ACD.

[goMac]

Macintosh SE FDHD. Eventually got a hard drive for it. I had an Imagewriter II with it.

[osiris]

Mac Classic II was my first.
Dozens have since followed, but my favorites are the G4 Sawtooth and Xeon Quad.
Least favorite is my MBP rev 2 - poor thing can't handle rough travel and tends bend to a bit too easily, though it is a little speed demon.

1987: Mac Plus/2.5MB RAM/20MB Apple external hard drive/ImageWriter II

[starman]

'89 Mac Plus. I had a 40 MB SCSI external drive that I used with my Atari ST that cost me $750 and the Mac Plus wouldn't see it because it had to be formatted with a third party app which the store I got it from was happy to help with, and let me keep.

What can you actually DO with that?

First Apple product: the G4 PowerBook that’s currently sitting unused on my desk, waiting for me to clean out the HD, so I can sell it and get a bit of money out of it.

Makes me sad to have to sell it, but I really have no use for it anymore with both a MacBook and a Mac Pro as its replacement.

[Person Man]

What I've owned and where they are now, in order.

Apple //c - Parents' house
Apple IIgs - My house
Power Macintosh 7600/120 - My house

QuickSilver Power Mac G4/867 MHz - Brother owns it
Titanium PowerBook G4/1 GHz - My house
Power Mac G5 dual 2.0 GHz - My house
17" iMac Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz - My office at work
15" MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz - My house

512k. i remember the shuffle to make sure that the disk you were putting in there had a system folder on it.

while we're at it, what's the oldest file on your computer?

[SirCastor]

The first Mac we had was an SE/30 with the SuperDrive... the ORIGINAL superdrive.
My first computer that was mine and mine alone was a Lime rev3 iMac. For graduation.
The first computer that I bought on my own was a PowerMac G4 (Sawtooth, 400mhz). I still have it, and it's been upgraded quite a bit. My wife says if I can provide half the cash (on my own, not coming from my regular job), we'll cover the rest for a new iMac.

My history:
SE/30
IIci
PM 6100
iMac 333

--- After this line, I still have this stuff ---
PowerMac G4
Lombard - broken
Pismo - needs a power inverter board
Wallstreet - works great.
PowerMac 466 I'm trying to sell.

[adamfishercox]

Mac Plus, Performa, eMac, iMac G5, MacBook, iMac 17", iMac 20", iMac 20" Aluminum, another MacBook.

In order.

These days, nothing. But back then, I remember making a sweet animation in a drawing program we had. Also made a comic strip for a class I was taking. Its good memories.

[Railroader]

iMac Rev. A.

I pre-ordered it without having seen it except for vague pictures in a magazine a friend had. I remember picking it up on release day Aug 15th, 1998.

[nonhuman]

Apple ][gs (unless you count my dad's 128k Mac, but I was pretty small then, the ][gs was my first Apple product)

After that, I think it was a Macintosh IIsi. Then a LC II. Then... uh... I guess the PowerComputing something or other which wasn't really an Apple product, then a PoweMac G3, then a Pismo, then a PowerMac G5, then a MacBook, now an iMac.

[rjenkinson]

• Classic II
• LC 475

[Koralatov]

If we're talking Apple products, then it was the iPod shuffle my ex bought me for my birthday in 2006. I remember I almost got myself killed by loudly complaining a few days later that I didn't want it because "there are coloured ones now. I want a coloured one." I was kidding, but she was outraged nonetheless (and she put up with a lot, poor girl).

If we're talking computers, then it was the 20" iMac G4--best computer Apple ever made. Then came the 466 Graphite Clamshell, followed by a Cube with a 22" ADC Cinema Display. And, as of yesterday, a 366 Lime Clamshell. I think I have a problem. That said, looking around this thread, I'm not the only one at least.

Likewise, I started out with a Mac 512k, and soon afterwards went to a Mac Plus. The endless floppy disk swapping between the system disk and the application/documents disk(s) was very painful when there was something that couldn't fit all on one floppy.

Didn't take long before I plugged an external floppy drive into the Mac Plus so that I could leave the system disk in the built in drive permanently, and use the external for applications and documents.

After that, a Mac Classic, an LC II, a 6400 A/V (that was the best machine I've ever had for it's time), an iBook Graphite SE, aluminium 12" G4 PowerBook, and now and 13" MacBook.

[analogue SPRINKLES]

This is the first Apple product I ever bought. It was another 3 years before I could afford to get a Mac of my own.

[NYK Ace]

performa 6400 w/ 15" apple crt display and apple stylus writer printer

Oh yeah, I had a MessagePad 100, a gaggle of iPods, and now an iPhone as well. Plus a bunch of Apple software...

Ooh, good question. It appears that I have a many-way tie as I apparently still have an electronic copy of a particular book which is frequently stolen from libraries with each of the chapters as a separate SimpleText file...

The files date to Nov. 20 '85.

Power Mac G4 Cube 450

[ebuddy]

For me personally, it was a 266MHz Tangerine iMac.

My first experience was on an Apple IIe in elementary school I believe. I became convinced that I needed one at home from recording with a friend using Opcode's Studio Vision on a quadra.

[mdc]

iBook G3 800 running 10.2

[ghporter]

If we could have afforded it, a Mac SE in early 1988. As it turns out, we got our first Apple product in 2003-an 800MHz G4 iBook. Then came iPods, my MBP, and latest my iMac this past fall.

[Ghoser777]

Apple IIgs around 1986-7.
