Poll:First Apple computer that you owned?

[macaddicted]

Mac SE in 1989. Cost $2500, and my Laserwritter IINT was $2700. For 300 ppi.

[Lixivial]

A Performa 575, which was a rebranded LC 575 and had the crippled 68LC040 processor. It always made me sad to see the error say, "You need an FPU!" I won't go through all my subsequent Apple purchases, although the first Macintosh that I actually purchased on my own was my iMac.

As a child, I even saved up all my allowance to buy Mac OS 8 the day it came out. :)

[henga]

A 1988 Apple IIc with 5 1/4" floppy drive. Still got it and it still works.

After that, I got a NewTon Message Pad, PowerPC 7200, Power PC 9600, PowerBook 120c, Apple G3's , PowerBook G3's, Apple G4's, PowerBook G4's, PowerMac G5Quad , Intel Mac Minis and now considering a MacBook Pro.....

[3CCD]

Single 1.6Ghz Power Mac G5 with 17" Apple Flat Screen.

[Jasonbot]

iBook G4 14" 1.33 Ghz. It was OK until the logic board died OUT OF WARRANTY! Now i'm waiting for a merom macbook!!!

[Josias]

White MacBook.

I used my brother's 1 GHz G4 iBook alot before that though. I loved Panther!;)

I though about buying a used Macintosh 512k, if I can dig one up. Just to see what OS 1 was like...

[Roy]

My first Apple computer was an Apple llGS which I bought in the Fall of 1986. I used it until 1993 when I bought a Mac Centris 610. With enhancements and software, I had about $1800 invested in my llGS. I sold it in 1993 for $1200 cash. What a great deal on holding value. I had 2 people wanting to buy it for $1200.

Since my Centris, I've had a G3 and currently have a G4. Mac Pro is next on my agenda to purchase.

[Zwhaler]

Havne't owned one yet, getting iMac this year!

[z00y0rk]

iBook G4, got it for christmas of '05. I love it and will never give it up.

[zwida]

Mac SE/30. I got it for my 16th birthday in July, 1989. It was either that or a car. I think it cost more than a car, but it was worth it...

[relimw]

PowerMac 8600 bought one month before they dropped it from the line up :( Still was a good machine, retired it from service about 2 years ago. Second machine was a G4 Dual 500, still running as my webserver/public codebuilder machine.

[b.hicks]

2 GHz Macbook White is the first Mac i've owned or used. I purchased it to use alongside my Athlon 64 3500+. Now the Macbook is my only computer :D
My first computer was a Tandy TRS 80 ... aka "CoCo"

[elvirav]

Powermac 6100/60, running OS 8.1. Got it used off of eBay. It was (almost) love at first sight. I found myself preferring the little pokey PowerMac over my much faster PC . . . the rest is history.

[Macmadant]

My trusty Powermac 6500, one of the first powerPC Macs

[XTERRA]

Apple IIe, 64k ram, 2 5.25 floppy units... no hard disk of course! 80 col video card, and the Greeeen monitor III!
i still have it, and still love it! :)

[Marie]

My first was a Ruby colored iMac g3 in 2000 or 2001.. I can't remember what year. I loved that machine.

[Apple2Mac]

the IIcx was my first computer but the first Mac I used was a Mac Plus, HyperCard is what I loved about the Mac, I wish that program didn't die off....

[jstrahan]

I had an Apple II+ back in 1978. Cost me $1500 then. A whopping 48K memory.

[adamyoshida]

A Mac Classic, circa 1991 or so.

First computer, period, was a 286, back around 1988ish.

Since then, I've owned (off the top of my head):

1) A Pentium 120 (ended its life with 64 Megs of RAM, IIRC).
2) A Pentium 233MMX (served from 1997ish through 2001, my longest-serving computer).
3) A Celeron 667.
4) A Celeron 1 Ghz (Ended up with my parents).
5) A 386 Notebook, running Windows 3.1 (carried to High School).
6) A Pentium II 266 Mhz Notebook.
7) A 1.6 Ghz Pentium IV Desktop
8) A Celeron M HP Notebook (Jack came loose, fixed and sold).
9) A G3 700 Mhz iBook with 640 Megs of Ram, running Tiger (with my sister).
10) A G3 Lombard Powerbook (With my father).
11) A MacBook 1.83 Ghz, with 2 Gigs of Ram (Malfunctioned and returned).
12) A generic Toshiba notebook (Core Solo-based Celeron) with 2 Gigs of Ram.
13) A G4 500 Mhz TiBook.
12) A 2.66 Ghz Pentium D Desktop.

Also, I've got another Lombard and a Powerbook 1400cs in the mail. The Lombard should get here tomorrow.

[nagshay1818]

[nagshay1818]

MBP was mine

[iMinnesotan]

It will be a Merom-based MPB when the dang thing's available! :) My wife has owned Mac Classic, bondi blue iMac, and a blue G3. But she's since fallen into the XP hole and won't come out. :(

[ghall]

The first Mac my family owned was a Macintosh LC. I remember that thing. It was pretty small for a computer of that time. May it rest in peace.

[Old Smuggler]

eMac good little trooper
i would be dissapointed if my first mac was a MBP as others stated since i had frequent problems with my MBP
probably would have left a bad taste in my mouth for apple

[Frozonecold]

My first was a G3 iMac. I still love it.

[bluewire]

My first computer was a SE/30. I was a kid and played Dark Castle, Crystal Quest, Shufflepuck Cafe...man that was the best computer ever.

Actually, the SE/30 was really my uncle's computer. My first official computer was LC. I remember playing a lot of Sim Earth on that computer.

[elisha cuthbert]

[Mydriasis]

Apple IIc, well it wasn't mine but my dads. It is the first computer I ever used.

[nchu429]

20" iMac C2D :D

[edcrosay]

I think the first one my family had was an apple ][e, and then the original 128k Macintosh. The one we got the most use out of was a Mac IIfx, which was a beast back in the day. We had a NeXTcube for awhile.. then nothing apple until I bought a 12" Powerbook G4 last year.

[edcrosay]

My first computer was a SE/30. I was a kid and played Dark Castle, Crystal Quest, Shufflepuck Cafe...man that was the best computer ever.

Actually, the SE/30 was really my uncle's computer. My first official computer was LC. I remember playing a lot of Sim Earth on that computer.

ohhh... Shufflepuck Cafe. Damn, I miss that game.
Do any of you remember Captain Magneto? I spent many hours of my youth playing that.

Since then I have convinced my father, wife-to-be, and best friend to all buy iBooks.

I am in the process of receiving a 15" MBP from Apple, and am currently debating whether to swap it for a 17" (or perhaps even MB).

[Mookamoo]

Bought it when finished my design course. Self taught myself with Quark 3.31, PhotoShop 4, Ilustrator 3 and the evil LetraStudio

Best thing I ever did. Now a freelance designer having worked in agencies for 10 years.

[rocknrotty]

My first computer was called a COLOR COMPUTER {code name COCO}1.7 Mhz processor RGB monitor, Tape drive

I consider this a Mac because it ran on a motorola 6809 chip set like the first macs 68xx and it ran ,at the time an OS called OS9, which was 10+ years before Macs OS9

[Sopranino]

Thats an interesting question:

The first computer in my house was one that I built for the local science fair in 1976. It was about 2 feet high x 6 feet wide (in 3 sections arranged as a half a hexagon) x 14 inches deep. The entire computer was wired with over 8.5 thousand feet of wire, all operations were conducted via toggle switches (well over 400 seperate switches ranging from DPDT to rotary SP). There was a manually operated punch card reader at the top. All operations had to be first encoded into binary, entered via the panel switches, the results read off a panel of lights (8 + 1 bulbs per strip x 16 strips). The results were then reentered on a seperate panel which converted the binary output back to decimal form.

The first commercial computer was a kit called a Sinclair ZX-81 which had to be assembled. (We had two of these and then eventually a third preassembled version called a Timex-Sinclair which was essentially the same).

The first Apple computer in the house was an Apple IIc which is still floating around fully functional. (I keep wondering when the media on the old 5.25 inch floppies is going to die)

Sopranino

[Xenesis]

My first computer was a Tandy 1000. It ran off those fun 5" floppies.

My first mac was a clamshell iBook:
300mhz G3
32mb Ram
3gb HD
Tangerine Colour
Airport Card

It only stopped working a few months back, too. Bugger's almost 7 years old.

[Troglodyte Mac]

My first Mac is a G4 450Hz.
Its still working under Os 9 and Panther!
Keeping it just for a few hooked games:)

[itsme92]

My first Mac was given to my family by my grandfather after he bought a new one. I don't know how old it was, but I it was a Fat Mac. Anyway, we used that very lightly for taxes and stuff until 1997, when we got a Dell with Windows 95. We later got three more Dells with XP, a desktop in Nov. 2001, a laptop in spring 2002, and another desktop in Dec. 2002, which complimented each other as I am part of a large family. Well, iTunes led to iPod which led to me getting a C2D Macbook.

I love it!

[imacdaddy]

First Mac was IIsi. Second Mac is my current iMac G5. In between, all Windows (3.11, 95x,98x,2000,XP) PCs and notebooks. Apart from video gaming, those were hellish times!!!

[Teh Don Ditty]

I achieved enlightenment with a iMac G5 (Pre-iSight) 2GHz, 1GB Ram, 160GB HD. Sold it to purchase MacBook (see sig)

- The Don Ditty (aka Mike)

[popelife]

My first Mac was a IIcx.

I'd been using Macs since the Plus came out. It was my dream to own a Mac for my music work, but I simply couldn't afford an SE, so I'd been using Steinberg Pro24 on an Atari 1040ST for three years.

Then I inherited a little bit of cash, just when the cx came out. A Mac IIx in a smaller case. Perfect.

Total cost of the machine was something like £3500 here in the UK.. .which got you:

16MHz 68030
40MB hard disk
1MB memory (later upgraded to a whole 4MB!)
4-bit video card - yes, a whole 16 colours (later upgraded to 8-bit)
Apple 13" colour monitor - Sony Trinitron, ran at 640 x 480 only. Cost £700 on its own. And weighed a ton!
Original MacII standard keyboard. I wish modern keyboards still felt like that keyboard... clackety-clack, but superbly built. If it had function keys I'd get an ADB to USB adaptor and keep using it!

Applications that saw a lot of use on that machine:

Opcode Vision
MacDraw Pro
PageMaker, Freehand
Think C
HyperCard

And not a big gamer, but who remembers these?..
Crystal Quest
Dark Castle
Spaceship Warlock (was it called? Early CD-ROM game. Damn, anyone else remember when CD-ROM first came out? My 1x external SCSI drive cost £400 and you had to use caddies for the discs. Forced to get one because all the Apple developer stuff came on CD).
Spaceward Ho! - hysterically funny network space strategy game

I still have the cx. Just never got around to selling it. Boxed and as new, manuals, everything (apart sadly, from the monitor sadly, which was stolen). Any collectors out there?

[superted666]

My first mac i used was one g3 ibook i had at my old work.
My first mac i owned however was a imac the swivel one - dam that thing rocks!!!!!

[amtctt]

IIgs for me, way back in the day. don't even remember what year. i think it cost a couple grand, but it was my family computer. the first one i paid for was a imac 400mhz g3 special edition. the first gray ones. awesome!! Then an 800mhz g4 imac, now a kicka$$ mac pro, i kicked it up a notch.

[mikeinternet]

g4 733 powermac (and still running strong!)

and since then for kicks i adopted a 9600 with a g3 upgrade which i have running 10.4 with xpostfacto. this will probably be passed on to a permanent family.

[dllavaneras]

Owned? An Apple Macintosh II :)

[ITASOR]

Apple IIe I think.

[grafikat]

The first, Mine all Mine mac was a 7100/66

But, I have many classics, etc that I have since added to my collection.

[mrkramer]

My first Mac is the eMac that I am typing this on.

[skunk]

The first, Mine all Mine mac was a 7100/66Mine, too. Like greased lightning, it was. :)

[California]

First family mac was an Apple II. First Mac I used was either the first Macintosh 512k that was in use at my library at school, or the Mac II which were in the computer labs. First Mac I owned was a Classic. Never looked back. I think it was the experience of using the Mac IIs (great machines) in the computer labs that always stuck with me, and shaped my Mac experience.

[BlackMax]

My first Apple computer was an Apple ][gs Woz limited edition. My father had an Apple ][ plus. I later obtained an Apple ][c, an Apple ][e, PowerMac G3 233 MHz beige, PowerMac G5 1.8 GHz and a PowerBook G4 12" 1.33 GHz. I still have all but the Apple ][ plus in my attic.

I'm currently debating whether to purchase a new MacBook or a MacBook Pro. :p

[ForeverUnknown]

MY first was a G4 iBook (in the sig), but my family first owned a couple of really old Macs. I don't even know the models or product family.

[UserofMacOSX]

My first is the computer I'm using now, an iBook G4. I definitely plan to buy another Apple, whether it be a 24" iMac or a 17" MacBook Pro.:cool:

[Maxwell Smart]

First used machine a powermac g3, first new machine my Macbook 2Ghz :)

[kashimo]

My first Mac was a Macintosh LC. Got it second hand after a school in our district upgraded to LCIIs.

Mac LC
Mac LCIII (Got it second hand when school upgraded)
Mac IIcx (got it from a power company that went to windows)
Quadra 605 (Guy said...if you can fix it, you can have it.)
Power Mac 6100 (Got it second hand when university upgraded)
PowerComputing 132 (why...I have no clue)
G3 iBook (using now)
G4 iMac (using now)
....got married...had children...
Wife and I talked this morning about getting Macbook for me and Intel iMac for home in the next year. (Wait till 10.5 and new iLife)

[michaelsaxon]

Dare I say it? Franklin Ace 1000. Ouch. Was cool right to the point that software stopped working.

[April Dancer]

Tray loading Grape iMac (333MHz), called Ozzie.

He still works although I haven't powered him up for about a year. He has his own bedroom, or at least, he does till the kids come along and my OH considers him nothing but a big purple paperweight. I've told OH he'll go before Ozzie does!

I remember trying to fit the box in the back of the car and then grinning all the way home. Ahh, happy days... :)

[Keirdre]

I got given an old, unwanted LCii I think it was, when I was about 14 or 15. Enjoyed playing Lemmings and Sparkz.

Then I got a PC, and now I'm about to receive my first proper iMac this week.

[PeggyD]

My first Apple computer was a IIgs that I still have. My first Mac was a use LC.

[Macgirl87]

The year was 1986. I think it was called a Mac 512. Everyone wanted to borrow it!:o

[HawaiiMacAddict]

Aloha everyone,

I am also on my first two Macs, a 20" Core Duo iMac and a 15" Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro. In my defense, I only switched over to the light last August :D

I am definitely NOT going back!!! In fact, my goal is to get another Mac (preferably a Mac Pro :D ), give my wife the iMac, and get the PCs all out of the house!

HawaiiMacAddict

[nuggatron]

After yet another round of problems with our Windows computer network.
I decided to switch to Mac, All I can say is the truth is in the simple logical user interface. My maintenance is down to..... I forgot the last time that I had a problem. I purchased a imac g4 800, then a imac g5, mac mini, ibook g4,and now a MPB, also an airport extreme, and an airport express.
Everything networks together. we all share a single printer.
try that with a windows system. and have it work every time without hours of replacing drivers or what ever fix that needs to be implemented.
The cost of the macs are very good. people tend to discount there time involved in the regular issues that pop up with windows.
I figure productivity is up. cost are down
Thank you Apple

[pjacob]

Our agency bought four Mac Plus' in the mid 1980's. One MB RAM expandable to four! Sounds abosultely absurd today, but they were fantastic machines and I've been loyal to Mac since. At home I bought a 7200, then an emac, now an imac. PC users have difficulty learning to use MacOS, because Macs are too easy...too few steps to accomplish your task. PC users can't understand that. tee, hee.

[Done-on-a-Mac]

iMac G5 20' iSight

I got it as a Christmas gift in Dec. of 05 and love it!

I use to hate all things mac. In fact what really put me off Macs in the beginning was my school, mom, and no gaming.

My school was Mac classics. Monochrome screen, one button mice, in 1997, was old even then. I thought "is this the best they(Apple) has???"

Then my mom got a G3 Powerbook "bronze keyboard". My mom is a professor and the college bought it for her to use. It was a lemon. The ram was to little to begin with(simple fix you'd think). The ram upgrade shot the computer to hell. Then the track pad broke. She used the "hockey puck" mouse. The HD failed and had to be replaced twice. Finally the "E" key broke and the machine was put away in 2001.

Of course after I got a Mac, I took the broken G3 Powerbook and pulled out the HD and used it as a portable HD for 1.5 years. The HD gave out though as Tech Tool Pro said every sector was bad. Don't know what happened. So that would have been the third HD to fry.

- Scott

O, and one night I went up to that college and took a bunch of the old Apple rainbow stickers from a store room. All the old Macs where sitting in a forgotten storage room untill last month. No I didn't "steal" any Macs. There was a lot of history in that room.

[zero2dash]

1st - LC475

I never wanted a computer. My husband said we had to have one.
I was a painter and graphic artist very happy in the messy world of my studio. The closest I got to anything techie was my airbrush.
The computer was delivered when I was at home and my husband at work. I opened the box, took out the machine, and could swear there was a hypnotic buzz begging me to awaken it.
I gave up my studio shortly thereafter......

Indigo iMac G3/500MHz (Summer 2001 model) running OS X 10.0.3. It came with OS 9 as standard with a 10.0.3 install CD bundled in the box. I loathe OS 9 so the machine got X installed within hours. 10.0.3 was something of a nightmare but it was good enough. Happy days spent browsing the web with unaliased fonts in Internet Explorer and the swisher but less compatible iCab.

Between 2001 and 2004 it got an Airport card added, slowly upgraded from 128MB to 1GB RAM and I replaced its internal 20GB drive with a 120GB model. So quite a tricked-out little box :)

It still runs 10.3.9 (10.4, although running fine, was a little slow with things like Dashboard). It still runs fine although the CRT's a bit odd - white areas such as the OS X login box cast a purplish shadow over the remaining right side of the screen. Degaussing doesn't help, sadly.

[Totty]

PowerMac G4 500mhz (sold to my brother, but getting back soon)
iBook G3 800mhz (sold to a friend)
PowerMac G4 450mhz
iBook G4 1.07ghz

[ReanimationLP]

Power Macintosh G3 300 MHz Beige Minitower with 6MB VRAM, AV in/out, and 192MB of RAM.

Used it for 2 weeks before selling it for parts and buying a Blue and White G3.

The Beige was just too slow under OSX for my tastes.

[Jarcrew]

My first Apple product was a 4GB pink iPod mini, which I bought in October of 2004 on a trip to Los Angeles. I left with an iPod that I still have to this day (despite it assuming retired status since the purchase of my 80GB 5.5G six months ago) along with a contempt for Best Buys that has endured long after I got back on home soil.

My first Apple computer was an eMac 1.25GHz in mid-2005. This is still my main computer.

My next computer will be a MacBook - although whether it'll be a BlackBook or a MBP is yet to be decided.

[the kid 05]

Hey wdlove! Welcome back! I wan't a mac person when you posted before, but I've read your posts and such. I look forward to seeing you and mad jew compete for the unofficial MR's highest post contest!:p

[SuperCompu2]

The first mac I owned was a Macintosh Classic, then I went on a dry streak (Windows for about 6 years) until I finally got an iMac G3 500MHz.

Currently personally own 4 Macs now.

[LimeiBook86]

The first Mac I ever used was a Macintosh IIcx with an Apple RGB 13" Color Monitor. Top of the line back in 1990 haha. :D The first Mac setup as the "Kids" computer was a spare Macintosh 7100/80 from my Dad's office.

That machine was a lot of fun and I eventually got to have it in my room. I remember spending hours on it drawing and playing in Photoshop :) Those were the days :p

[wdlove]

Hey wdlove! Welcome back! I wan't a mac person when you posted before, but I've read your posts and such. I look forward to seeing you and mad jew compete for the unofficial MR's highest post contest!:p

Awesome! :) I have a Color Classic I was playing with the other day. I actually got it online though an old SCSI to Ethernet adapter (Since my Ethernet card was in another machine.) It worked great, and I even got it online! Haha :D

Photo of the Color Classic surfing to Google.com! (http://homepage.mac.com/ibook238/.Pictures/color-classic-online.jpg) Internet Explorer 2.0 was slow, but at least it didn't crash on me like Netscape Navigator 3.

[Agurri]

Power Macintosh 6100/60 with a HUGE 14" colorscreen. The first PowerMac ever.... man this comp was solid :)

[Elixer]

Black Macbook this is my first mac.

[Coheebuzz]

Macintosh LC with 2mb's of ram and 20mb of hard disk, got it about 6 months after it came out. I was the only kid in town with a 256 color capable computer back then! :D

oh the memories... go :apple: !!

[Phillip K]

The cutting edge 25mhz LCIII with 40MB HD and 4MB RAM which I then
maxed out to 12. Price $1999.99 I paid only 300 more for my duel 1.8 Ghz G5.
The LCIII then became a has been as fast as it became cutting edge.

Personally, Rev. B Bondi Blue G3 iMac.

But we had everything from the original Apple II up through the 1984 Macintosh when I was growing up. I still have the '84 Mac, and it works like it was brand new.

[warbler5]

My first and only Mac is the one I bought about 2 months ago.....a 17" MacBook Pro! :D

[wizzerandchips]

It's just such a beautiful machine, and the power is amazing!

I will never touch a Windows machine again(okay.... maybe 1 time for school, but not for fun!:P)

[iLoveMyMBP]

My family has owned close to 100 macs:) :) :apple:

[macslug]

The first :apple: I owned was a Powerbook G4 1.5, It was a great machine.
First mac that I used was the Mac plus, Even back then apple had a great aesthetic.

[BlueMeanie]

LC II, with 4mb of RAM, and a whopping 8mb hard drive! And a Stylewriter II which almost never worked properly.

[Father Jack]

My first was a 12" G3 iBook, a friend bought it and it's still going strong :)

[uraniumwilly]

What was that thing... it had these big boxes and you put genuinely floppy things in it and when I say floppy, I mean they flopped around... Apple II I believe.

Kinda like my car, I bought it to impress the chicks.

[TomGolden]

My MacBook Pro that I got in June 2006 is my first Mac or Apple computer ever. As soon as I heard of Intel Inside, I decided it was time to make the leap :)

[Trogloxene]

I had a Mac 128 a week before it was released. I worked for a Retailer who's salespeople were able to buy one cheap so that they could learn it to sell. I remember that the case looked really stupid at the time, but once I started using it I was hooked.

[R.Youden]

iMac DV SE from 1999.

He isn't very well at the moment and my aim is to take all the inside bits out and install a new 15" monitor with a mac mini inside. That should make a great little computer for internet and email I hope.

[warswics]

Is the one I'm using now: MacBook2.1. 13" white 2 Ghz processor, 1MB Memory. I had a Dell Desktop and laptop previously and I'm SOOO happy I switched! I bought my Mac 12 days ago and I'll NEVER EVER EVER run Windows again. I don't know why it took so long to switch, but now that I have I'm very happy.

[Mr.Texor]

does this count:
http://www.old-computers.com/museum/photos/VideoTech_Laser128EX_System_1.jpg

I then went to the dark side and used PC's for a long time.. till around 98 when I went almost all linux. Then around dec 2004 I got an old g4 imac as a gift, but it got replaced by a first generation mac mini. I've been using the mac mini ever since. I also have a PC that runs games and linux, a laptop that runs linux, and a server that runs linux :D. I'm waiting for santa rosa mbp to buy another mac

[chasemac]

The Apple IIc. It was something special at the time.

[Snarf]

15" Powerbook 1.5Ghz. I remember ordering it right when the online store came up, it was exciting! I was sad when I ended up having to sell it a few months later. :(

[kulcha]

Alu PBG4 1GHz. Still using it as it has been serving me well.

[polevault139]

The first Apple I owned was an iMac C2D. The next one I got was an iMac G3. Both are awesome computers even though I am looking to upgrade the G3 from OS9 to OS X.

[ISMPlus]

Macintosh Performa 6360, in 1996 - 2000 (with its printer! :D )
Processor Type: PowerPC 603e Processor Speed: 160 MHz
Ran strong at all times, never died, just sold it.


And...

the Power Mac 8500 (tower), in 1997 - 2001
Processor Type: PowerPC 604e Processor Speed: 180 MHz
It was a power house for me, also never died. Although the HD crashed and wiped out completely due to a terrible electrical and water short circuit in the house. For the first time in my life I saw the face of terror... the face logo turned ugly! Not even that killed. We got it back running that same day! I think my brother still has it!

Sweet machines!! I miss them :(

[Royale w/cheese]

Dual g4/450 Powermac, still runs great. Got it in 2000 the same week it was released.

[jng]

12" 867mhz g4 powerbook. Still have. Most portable powerbook ever. Been relegated to a strictly internet/email/word machine though.

LOL My school still uses them

[thekiller]

macbook rev. b black

[imac/cheese]

When I was in 5th grade my brother talked my dad into buying an Apple IIc because "everyone had one". I still remember that big apple box under the chistmas tree that year. My dad was pretty mad when he realized that not everyone actually had a computer and he just spent a load of cash to get us one. Soon though, I introduced him to the game Lode Runner and we spent hours and hours creating different levels for each other to try to conquer. I used that computer all the way through high school when I got a 486 to go off to college with.

[Fearless Leader]

first one I used was a powermac pre g3 first one owned was ibook g3 12".

[j/k/Andy]

first and only, a powerbook G4, $3599, early 2002

[geoffy]

My first Mac was a blueberry ibook (6 GB hard drive), which just celebrated its 7th birthday. I recently bought a macbook, but the ibook still gets some use on the road. I love the built in handle. Easily my favourite computer of all time. I also have a G4 tower and some spare parts.

[spellinator]

...I owned was an Apple //e with a DuoDisk drive and a 15" composite monitor. Paid $2,500 and was very happy with it. In fact, I still have it and the last time I checked, it still worked.

First one I used was in middle school in Seguin, TX and it was a Bell & Howle labeled Apple I.

My how time has flown since then. :(

[yukon0013]

Blueberry iMac!! lasted quite a while .. until we tried to install tiger on it .. then it died.

[rockosmodurnlif]

iBook G4 800 MHz, which I am using currently seeing as how my Powerbook G4 1.5 MHz just died. Or rather the screen refuses to light up after I put it to sleep and it wouldn't wake. Fortunately I already have plans (and funds) for a new MacBook Pro.

[johnmartin78]

Apple IIGS

[uMac]

Apple SE
Then I went into the Performas, Several PowerBooks, but got out at the end of system 7.5, now I'm back with a Mac Pro.

[KristieMac]

She's listed below. I am so happy I switched!

[jadex]

12" PowerBook G4, and even after a couple of drops, still works like a charm (even though I can't get the dents out!:o )

[Karpfish]

12" Powerbook here too, a beautiful machine, but the screen was small for a full time computer, so I sold it then bought a macbook a few months after. The n I got a Mac Pro

[XboxEvolved]

First one I ever used was a Apple SE I think, back in Elementary school..first one I owned was a PowerMac G4 Digital Audio.

[JasonMac]

my first apple was a 1999 blue and white G3 powermac with a 400 mhz processor and I still own it!!!

[rezwits]

Macintosh SE/30 1 MB RAM 40 MB HD and then upgraded it to 4 MB on day during a lunch break from work, too excited. 4 MBs! for $300-400 WOW gulp gees where has all my money gone... Indirectly building Apple Computer Inc...NTR Laser Writer to go with it...

[aussie_geek]

First mac was a Performa 250 aka Color Classic bought in 1993. Used it thru uni. It still has all my stuff on it. I rebooted it today after reading this thread. Still works like a charm!!

[mathwhiz90601]

Mac 128k - Mar 1984! Mac from the beginning.

Ok, so my dad bought it, but no matter. I still used it.

[-hh]

Its always fun to see this thread resurface.

First Apple I used & owned was a ][+ (Motherboard Revision G; 1977).

First Mac I used was a Mac Plus w/1MB. First Mac I bought was a IIcx.

Current Mac is a 8600 with a 400MHz G4 & other mod's. Its overdue for replacement. We'll see what January brings.

My above post was made back in December 2002.

I ended up waiting a bit longer than just January. The G5's were due and the rumors flying, so I ended up getting a 1.8GHz G5 PowerMac in the Fall of 2003. In the Fall of 2005, I added a 1.5GHz G4 12" Powerbook to our household.

The G5 is now four years old getting a bit topped out...it needs a second round of HD and RAM upgrades. Don't think that I'll go for a Mac Pro this year unless a really nice upgrade comes through.

That's awesome. Way to get the most out of your mac. I think soon I'm going to get a mac pro because I really want the expandability. If it lasts me as long as yours that'd be amazing.

[siurpeeman]

how have i not posted in this thread before? my first mac was a mac classic ii. it was a hand-me-down from my sister, and i LOVED it. my first brand-new computer was a quadra 660av. it served me well. :)

[-hh]

That's awesome. Way to get the most out of your mac. I think soon I'm going to get a mac pro because I really want the expandability. If it lasts me as long as yours that'd be amazing.

"As long as"? My G5 isn't even 4 years old yet. If it didn't last at least this long, I'd be complaining.

The Macintosh paradigm is that you pay more for it upfront, but you get that investment back because it lasts longer...as such, your cost per month ends up being lower...

...and that doesn't even include theoretical resale: as per eBay, it looks like I could easily get $800 for my current system.

A $2400 system now worth $800 = $1600, divided by 45 months of ownership & use = $35/month.

It is hard to keep track of the hardware extras over time (which is why Windows fans tend to miscalculate their true lifecycle costs and underestimate how much their system really has cost them), but I figure that I've added ~$800, including the HD+RAM bump I just ordered yesterday. As such, this adds an extra +$18/mo, which takes me up to a lifecycle cost of $53/month as of this instant...

...but for each month that it "just works" and I don't buy any more hardware upgrades, this number will drop by around $1/month. So I'll easily get back under $50/month by later this year.

[Genghis Khan]

first mac?

c2d iMac:p

500MHz iMac G3 and then the eMac Im sitting at typing this.
Can't wait for the new iMacs though, I thought this was speedy (well, for coming up to 2 years old)

The first family computer was a Performa 6200. However, the first computer that was 100% mine was my Power Macintosh 4400/200. I got it for 1¢ and $100 shipping with a Macintosh Color Display, AppleDesign Keyboard, and ADB Mouse II.

Oh I know that the G5 has a hell of a lifespan left on it. I was talking about your 8600 which you seemed to juice pretty well. What ended up happening to it?

[Markleshark]

800MHz eMac. Upgraded it to a 200Gig Hard Drive, DVD-DL burner and 768meg of RAM. I loved the damn thing. :D

[Avenger23]

My first was a Performa 550, then I purchased the Power PC upgrade kit that would switch the machine between 68K mode and PPC mode. I still have the computer sitting in storage after the HD quit when the kids were playing games on it.

[stuh84]

Mac Pro....

I used them all the time on my degree, G5's, G4's, iMacs, eMacs, I'd even used one of the old SE's many many years ago back when I was still in primary school, but I just never had enough of my own money to get one until this year.

Now I don't have a Windows installation in my room :D, 2 macs, 2 pcs, no Windows. Brilliant.

[techlover828]

SR Macbook Pro, new mac switcher and I love it!

[RedBarchetta]

My first Mac I got in June of 2003. 1ghz Superdrive eMac. 80 gig HD 512mb of RAM. Got that badboy for highschool and guess what, the little thing is still trucking.:apple: Waiting to up the RAM to 1 gig in October and drop Leopard on it.

[Squonk]

An :apple: ][+ when I was in high school.

Dang, this is an old thread alright!

[Joshua8o8]

holy $#I+ this is an old thread, anyways i just got my first mac computer about three or four months ago. I got me a black macbook. I love it and i will never go back to windows!!!

[greenday123]

My amazing black macbook 2.0ghz c2d 1gb ram, 120gb was my first mac. switched to mac in december, never using a windows machine again!!:)

[QuarterSwede]

Nothing about the Mac or OS X excited me until I saw the Keynote where Jobs introduced Tiger. It simply blew me away. That summer I bought a 12" PB and since only use Windows at work. It isn't so bad because the IT department has stripped out all nonessential things to make them some amazing Windows systems.

[Maui]

The 3-month old Mac Pro I am typing on is my first Mac. My MacBook Pro is my second.

Apple was always this mysterious "thing" out there. I never even touched a Mac until I walked into an Apple store to buy an iPod. So I got the iPod, iTunes seemed to work just great, then Vista showed up, and sanity took over and I bought a Mac. Pretty typical story I am guessing.

[oduinnin]

My first Mac was a Performa 600CD, 4MB RAM, 160MB HD. This unit ran on the Motorola 68030 CPU.

I wanted it to scan and display photos from my vast print collection. Then store them on CDs. Bought a Umax scanner with it. After some frustration, found I had RAM (maxed out at 68MB, I think) and video memory to 1MB in order to view and store at decent resolution.

One month after I bought this, Apple came out with more powerful Macs based on the Motorola 68040 CPU. I was caught off guard and po'd!

[techlover828]

2.2 GHz SR Macbook Pro got it on monday

[LBmacman]

A Sawtooth

[joegomolski]

Goes back aways. My first Apple was a IIe. If memory serves me, 64KB of RAM, and 2 5 1/4" floppies, one being external. I think the floppies were 360KB? But not sure, single sided though.

Now it's different Mac Pro and Mac Book Pro, and my latest an iPhone.

And the day Apple releases an ultra-light laptop, I'm getting it!

I love all things Apple, and their customer support has been peerless.

first mac owned was about 6 months ago...C2D iMac, followed quickly by a MacBook

although the computer that made me a macman was a friends G4 Powerbook...all that aluminum and better than windows-ness...and with a 17" inch screen :eek:

[ICEBreaker]

I have only used one Apple computer. I cannot remember the model, since I was 13, and knew nothing about computers at the time. Looking at the pictures, I think it was an Apple Classic, but I cannot be sure. It had programs like Hypercard, which fascinated me at the time. I wish I could have one now for nostalgic reasons.

[A Pittarelli]

the first one i acutlaly owned was a 1ghz G4 Powerbook

[pmartin]

I owned a PowerMac 5215CD (5200) which I picked up for 6 dollars at a thrift shop in 2001.

[tartsquid]

The first Mac that I owned was a 1GHz 15" Titanium PowerBook. I bought it the summer before I started college in 2003. I was a bit upset when they came out with the Aluminum PowerBooks a few months later, at the same price. Still, I loved that laptop for four years, hinge problems and all. I was sad when I had to sell it to help pay tuition.

[YoungCreative]

I helped the store owner unload the truck back in 1984 so I could take mine home. Mac OS and MacWrite on a 400K floppy...with room to save documents!

First Mac was a Mac Plus. Eventually upgraded it to 4MB of RAM (woohoo!) and, of course, had to clip the resistor. I also added an 80MB Seagate SCSI external HDD to it, and an external (third party, can't remember the brand) floppy drive.

Later, somewhere around my late sophomore or junior year of high school, I got a Everex MD2400 2400 baud modem (thing looked like a cross between an aircraft carrier and an airplane, and had a built-in speaker phone!). I also got a Logitech three button mouse and a (Kensington, I think) external keyboard for it. And, naturally, I got the padded case to transport it around.

Good times, happy times. I still have the box for it in my garage. I do miss it sometimes.
