Mac IIsi and a souped up SE/30 with an extra graphics card that could drive a 21" 256 colour monitor. Dual monitors floored everyone back in the mid-nineties.

1988 : MacPlus with 1Mb of Ram and an ImageWriter II
I later purchased 3Mb of additional Ram for 150$ and a 40Mb Hard drive for 450$. Hey, this 4 inches thick box was able to hold the content of almost 50 floppy disks. Isn't is amazing?

Apple //c, 1984 or so. A whopping 128K of RAM, two--yes, two--floppies and a crystal clear nine inch, green screen monitor. That sucker ran Lode Runner and Zork like a champ.

I started with a Powermac 7100/66, then just had to get more.
1. Pismo
2. Quicksilver
3. TiBook
4. G5
5. MBP
6. MP coming soon
Also I bought the first rev iPod that's dead now but was great when it worked, holding out for a rev 2 iPhone to replace the iPod and my dying RAZR.
That pretty much sums up my journey as a Mac user.
Cheers

I think it was an Apple Sticker, which got me, uh, attached to their products. Later, a PowerBook 150.

Yeah I like the stickers too, remember the rainbow Apple stickers? That's the ones that got me hooked.
Looking at what I wrote it kind of seems like I'm talking about a drug or something, lol.
Long live the Mac, now where's my bong. j/k

First Apple product was a 700Mhz Graphite iMac, I'm posting with it now! Shortly after that, a 5GB iPod, then Airport Extreme, then iPods for everyone in the family, they lost some of those, so got some more, currently we have a 30GB pre-classic 'Classic', a 1st gen Nano and two colored clip on Mini's. I expect to find one of the bubble gum one's in the couch any day now.

The reason I hated that iPod was so much was because of those stupid touch controls. If you went from one temperature to the next they wouldn't register touches without coaxing. Well that and no tactile.

Why write about the mini when you're quoting a picture of a 3G?

Caused I found the battery meter of that iPod interesting.
For me, I never understood the iPod mini. My friend gave me a 4GB iPod mini one time, it's just not my cup of tea.
