Hey, where's my iMac.

I feel so left out. Just a cheap pretender to true Macdom. Oh I would have bought a PowerMac, really I would, but it was just too much. Please let us iMaccers play along. Please. Please.

That must be a mistake to not have the iMac in there, So many people must have had that as their first Mac.

Perfoma 630 CD (The CD means it came with a CD ROM w00t!)

got my start on a mac 128k, those were the days

My first Apple was an Apple IIe. I'm now on my 5th Mac (currently a 15" flat panel iMac).

However, my first computer was a TI 99/4A. Anyone remember that one? Programs came on cartridges and some games came on audio tapes!

1998 - Emulated Quadra 900
Early 2002 - Classic II
Mid 2002 - Colour Classic
Early 2003 - 800 MHz iBook
Mid 2003 - LC III
Late 2003 - 1.25 GHz Power Mac

Today, I still own the Colour Classic (dead hard drive), LC III (works fine), and Power Mac (my primary computer).

Edit: There should be an emulated ][gs in there somewhere (1999 or 2000).

My first Mac- clone, actually- was a Motorola StarMax 4000/200, which is sitting on a table beside me now, acting as a place to set things on top of.

Poor old computer... We were such good friends!

I dont have as impressive history as many of you veterans

But one thing I know, I love my Powerbook17 and have loved it from the first second I got it, sometime in march '03. I've never been so pleased with a machine as this time.

Thank you Apple, thanks alot
