What was your first Mac?

[raymondu999]

For me, I had a PowerBook G4... the TiBook, actually. Then I upgraded to an AlBook. I loved macs so much then, I got a G4 iMac. Then to the last PowerBook G4... then when G5 came out, my iMac got the switch... then when the Intel Core Duo iMacs came out, I wasn't convinced, and waited for my current Alu iMac. But I got the second macBook Pro (the 2.33GHz variant) which then upgraded to 2.6GHz SR, and then 2.6GHz Penryn now. What was your story?

[LeahM]

Ipods included? Then my 30gb. And then my Ipod Touch 2 months ago. And on in March I got my MacBook Pro 17". :)

[ucfgrad93]

The iMac in my signature was my first. I love it!

[greenBabe]

The first Apple laptop ... with a whopping 40 MB hard drive ... got it as a grad student and loved it ... still have it, but it won't start up anymore ....

[Father Jack]

My first Mac was a Mac Mini. After 20+ years as a PC person, the Mac Mini was like a breath of mountain air ... :cool:

[riscy]

The MB sitting on my lap ;)

Bought April 2007, and we are very happy together.

[miloblithe]

Centris 610 in 1993.

[CorvusCamenarum]

PPC 601 I got back in '94 as a high school graduation present. 60 MhZ, 250 MB hard drive, 14.4 modem, System 7. Those were the days when computers still had some element of mystique for me, instead of the common household appliance like the microwave.

[bart rijksen]

Powerbook with 400mhz, 512mb ram, and 10gb hard drive. It was awesome!!!
Got it in 2005.

[youthpastor]

PowerBook G4 1.67 GHz (Last generation before they changed to MacBook Pro)

[puckhead193]

the family's LC complete with Style writer printer and CD rom drive with caddy :eek:

[nick9191]

2.2ghz macbook as in sig

[Mikey-]

Well my dad had an iBook but I didn't really use that but my first mac was my Intel iMac

[tobefirst]

iMac G4 15" pretty much right after they were released. Loved that thing. (:

[Raid]

The first mac I ever used was my Dad's Mac plus from 1986 to 199(4-5?). It became the 'kids computer' when my Dad got a Centris 610. Eventually I bought my own mac, a Performa 6320 CD, when I needed a colour screen for all my 'university presentations' ;)

[Markleshark]

800MHz G4 eMac. Awesome. :D:cool:

[ChrisA]

For me, I had a PowerBook G4...

First Mac? I think it was called simply the "512K mac". It had a floppy disk drive but no hard drive. The macs with the HDs cam later or as dealer modiifications. I've actually stil got a 512K Mac.

I worked for a company were we were seriously thinking about buying an Apple "liza". This was the short lived machine that came out just before the Mac. The Liza was all around a better computer except for the price. It was about (?) 1982 and Apple wanted $10,000 for the Liza and that was back when $10K was alot of money that would buy you a pretyy nice car.

[gregdrummeraz]

My order is like this. starting 3 chrismas's ago.

powermac G4 400mhz
powermac G5 1.6Ghz
Powerbook G4 1.5Ghz 12"
and now....
macbook 2.2Ghz only 2 months old.

ipod wise.
got a 60Gb video that I sold later to support my mac obsession and then got a 2Gb nano and now have a 8GB touch.

[themadchemist]

Good ol' Mac SE, which we got when I was around three.

[kgarner]

My dad bought the first Mac sold in our sales region, so that was the first Mac I used. The first Mac that was "mine" (but not paid for by me) was a Quadra 630. The first Mac I paid for was the Bondi Blue iMac.

[roland.g]

I had a Macintosh LC with Personal Laserwriter LS that I got in college in 1990.
But prior to that I had an Apple ][e complete with duo 5.25" floppy drives. Circa 1984.

My first Mac was a 2.0 C2D Black MacBook bought from the Fifth Ave Apple store... that was a very good day. It's still around, but I sold it to my Dad and bought a 15" 2.4 MBP (because the GMA 950 was getting on my nerves). Recently I sold that and bought a quad 2.8 Mac Pro (because I got in to HD video... MBP can't touch the MP). My most recent Mac is a 12" 1.5 PBG4 to go along with my MP... I'm surprised how snappy the little thing still is.

[chaosbunny]

1. PowerMac G4 Cube: bought early 2001, and is still used connected to an eyetv recording stuff.

2. 12" PowerBook G4 867 mhz: bought mid 2003, still used by my father.

3. 15" PowerBook G4 1,67 ghz lo-rez: bought 04/2005 because the 12" screen was getting difficult for gfx design.

4. 15" PowerBook G4 1,67 ghz lo-rez: bought 08/2005 because the first 15" pb was stolen 3 months after purchase. :(
Is still in almost daily use and does its job with leopard & CS3.

5. 24" iMac 2,8 ghz: bought 08/2007, because well, needed more power. :) Connected to my 21" Eizo lcd it's a great design machine.

[Sesshi]

IIci. Back from when Mac actually was better for a lot of stuff.

[remmy]

[Silencio]

IIci, bought on super closeout special, January 1993.

[Prof.]

My first Mac is the one I have now. 2.16GHz, 120GB HDD 2GB RAM MacBook:cool:

[iDAG]

The first Mac I ever owned myself is this MacBook on which I am typing on. The first Mac I ever used as my own computer was a PowerBook G3 that my dad passed on to me. The first Mac that I can remember ever using in my house was a Performa. :cool:

[JNB]

Kids.

Fat Mac (512K, System 6.0.3), 1985. Second Apple machine. Hard drives were just getting under $1000 for 10 Meg.

The first being a ][+, 48K, the additional 11" 16K RAM card costing me a cool $200. Floppy was another $200, but the cassette drive was something I already had (Cue tape to prefix tone, type LOAD <enter>. Press "PLAY." Type RUN <enter>).

First pre-built PC was a TRS-80 Model I 4K. More cassette, more manual programming every time you wanted to do something.

First computer was a Heathkit.

Oh, and walked to school in the snow. Three miles. Uphill. Both ways. :p

[Cassie]

I bought a Macintosh Classic off of eBay for $35 in 2003, and played around with it for a while. Then I bought an iMac G3 on eBay in 2004, considered dumping my PC for it, but it was just too slow. Finally, In 2006, I received a Mac mini as a christmas present, and finally "switched"

Since then, I've accumulated 4 more Macs/Apple's, but the mini has passed on, replaced by an iBook G4.


Oh, and walked to school in the snow. Three miles. Uphill. Both ways.
My great grandfather really did walk uphill both ways, in a sense. His school was on the other side of a mountain, so he had to walk up the mountain going to school, and walk up it again coming home. :)

[iJohnHenry]

Does that make you iJohnnycomelately.;)

Yes, you might say that, but I wouldn't dare. ;)

And some already regret my appearance on the scene. :p

[Neil321]

performa 460

Love it!

It's the only company I'll ever need ;)

[pscoble]

Early 06 I got a iBook G4 which was replaced by my MacBook Pro which got a companion earlier this year with my iMac :)

[glocke12]

First Mac was a notebook bought in '93 or '94, a powerbook I think???

Sold it a few months later to get a performa636 CD which I had (but wasnt using) until a few months ago.

[benmrii]

Ah the memories. My first was the Apple ][e.

Anyone else remember the game Karateka? Oh man, if I could find a way to play this on my computer today...

I recall using the IIe when I was in 7th or 8th grade...

[mr.light]

First Apple was a IIe.

First Mac was an LC II

[ghall]

Macintosh LC

[amiga]

Power Mac G5, was a troublesome machine :( I used Macs at college many years before that.

[SamIchi]

[pimentoLoaf]

Power Macintosh 6100/66 DOS Compatible.

[GimmeSlack12]

Mac SE. 8MHz of pure Power!

[twoodcc]

ok, my story is kinda long (and crazy). i'll start off by saying that when i got into computers, i was on a pc. i didn't know hardly anything about macs at all, mainly b/c i was never around one (except when i was like 8, and didn't know it was a "mac")

so, after being a long-time pc user, i was getting tired of windows. i even tried linux a little. when they announced the mac mini, i decided to save up for one. in around march of 2005, i got the 1.42ghz version from Fry's.

near the end of 2005, i ended up selling my pc laptop and getting a 15" G4 powerbook. at the beginning of 2006, i sold my mac mini and bought the first intel iMac 17".

in the middle of 2006, i sold the powerbook and got a macbook. in september i built a pc desktop.

i then bought a mac pro in october. in december i traded the macbook and iMac for a brand new macbook pro. i later sold the home-built pc.

and that's that. i still have the mac pro and macbook pro, over a year later. i just recently stumbled upon a first gen macbook for free, so i currently have 3 macs now

[Legolamb]

IIsi, and I've been in love ever since.....

[Patrick425]

My macbook which i got 3 months ago :D

[celeste808]

The Apple ][e. My brother has wanted to throw it away, but I think it's a collector's item. Or if not, there's so much sentimental value...

[ribbonthecat]

A five-year old hand-me-down Pismo. That lasted me two years. Then I got a 12 inch PB. Two years later, I moved to Intel with a 2.4 2 Foot iMac. Sweet.

[asrmatt]

A beautiful blue G3 iMac!

oh, those where the times...

[DoubleDutyG4]

Macintosh LC II (1992) -- $1400
16 MHz, 40 MB hard drive

Had some good times on that bad boy. Ran programs like Microsoft Works, The Print Shop, Hypercard and was connected to a StyleWriter of course. Glider 3.0 was by far the reason to own this CPU though...greatest game ever...directing a paper airplane through a house.

http://www.vectronicsappleworld.com/macintosh/glider.html

[hotsauce]

performa 460

Me too. I bought mine at Sears. Can you believe it? Sears and Roebuck selling Apple computers. I loved that little microphone with that little holder on the side of the monitor.

[c-Row]

My 15" PowerBook G4. I am a late developer. :o

An original Macintosh LC was the computer that I really became a fanatic on. Played Vette! and used Kid Pix to make animations. Man, I wish that HDD was still intact, all 40mb's of it.
Come to think of it my Flash drive has more memory than my first 3 Macs combined.

[PowerFullMac]

My first Mac was my iBook G3 I got for my birthday when I was 9, that died last year and I am saving for a black MacBook ATM. I did get a Power Macintosh 7100/80 for £3 at a car boot sale but I dont even know if it works as I have no cables, moniter, keyboard and mouse...

[D3LM3L]

Four years ago, I got a 12" PowerBook G4 1GHz with 768MB RAM running 10.3 from my friend. I was kind of reluctant to use it at first, and stuck to Windows on my 17" Toshiba laptop, but after several months I gave the Mac a chance and fell in love with it. Since then, I've owned a PowerMac G5 and now have a Mac Pro and 15" PowerBook G4.

[Antares]

Macintosh IIsi.

:apple:

[JoshLV]

My 15" 2.4 GHz Penryn Matte display MBP. I got it about 3 weeks ago:D
I'll never go back! :apple::apple::apple:

[ryannel2003]

My first Mac was the original Bondi Blue iMac G3 I got 4 years ago. Loved it so much I upgraded to an 1.25GHz eMac G4 in October of the same year. It was the perfect computer for me, and still runs great today.

[spencers]

Macintosh TV.

[c073186]

PowerBook G4: August 2005. Still running strong except that I just got the new '08 Mac Pro and now all of a sudden my PowerBook runs a lot slower :D.

[nyquist11]

Got an ibook G4 in '04 got smashed on an airplane so in '07 (year later) I got and macbook Pro. It was like 3 months b4 the new one came out, but i needed to get off windows. Don't ask y i got a Pro, I am what you call an amateur-amateur digital photographer. I also do stuff in a real darkroom.

[FadeToBlack]

Bought a refurbished 1.25GHz eMac in December, 2004. Was a GREAT computer. Been addicted ever since. :)

[Gray-Wolf]

My current one is also my first. A mid level Macbook, 2.2ghz, 2gb ram, 144mb shared vid ram, 120gb HD and leopard 10.5.2

Getting as far away from Vindoz as I can.

[tangledweb16]

My white MacBook, whose specs can be seen in my signature.

[NightFlight]

Mac Classic :)

After that I had a Powerbook 165c which I believe was the first of their color laptops... :p

[Xfujinon]

First family Mac was a Performa 6360 with the apple printer.

Before that, I recall using a Mac classic at my father's office. He was a printer, and had a deep-seated hatred for anything but a Mac when doing design, graphics, etc.

My first Mac that I personally owned is a 2.16 C2D 20" iMac purchased from the refurb store.

After a brief collecting binge, I now have two G4 Cubes, an iMac 15" lamp, an iBook G4, and I am in the process of acquiring a G3 blue tower.

Someday I intend to own an original Mac classic, just like the first one I ever used. My wife's dad has one, now I just need to convince him to sell it...

[uiop.]

My first mac was an early 08 2.4ghz MacBook Pro back in July, then I was a sucker for the unibody design and upgraded to the 2.53ghz MacBook Pro in October.

[doubleohseven]

My first Mac was a MacBook (late 2007 model) I brought in November, 2007. I use it everyday and I love it!

[MidwestStuck]

The first Mac I had was the Performa 6400. That was back in '96. I didn't like it all that much. The first Mac I used might've been the SE (I'm not too sure). Boy, KidPix was so much fun.

[peskaa]

The first Mac that I bought (not my parents, so with my own money) was a Dual 2.0 PowerMac G5 with a 20" Cinema Display (ACD model).

First one I used however, would be an Apple III
