My first Mac was one of the "toilet seat" iBooks, purchased a little over a decade ago. Haven't used it for years, but I still have it, and it still works.

My oldest Mac, though, is a 20-year-old Mac Classic, that I picked up for $25 a few years back. I bought it strictly as an objet d'art, but it still works, too. :)
 
My family bought a Quadra 800 in 1993, complete with 20" monitor, laser printer, scanner, SCSI CD-ROM drive and some sort of long-lost optical storage drive. All together: $11,000. Things sure have changed! My parents are in publishing, which was still kind of a joke on the computer at the time, but I had a variety of games so it was all good. ;)
 
A 1G iPod touch I bought for my wife. Since then a 4G iPod nano, iPhone 4, and iPhone 4S. Next fall will be my first PC purchase with and Ivey Bridge MP.

Edit
Forgot I did by a white G4 MacBook but sold it shortly there after as I needed more shear power than it offered and built a PC.
 
iphone for me. Never bought a single apple product until ip4. Funny in retrospect considering how much I spent on apple products and accessories since.

Not Really that many apple products
 
iPod touch 1st gen. Before that, I bought my wife an iPod nano 2nd gen because she needed a new mp3-player. "Are you sure you want an iPod?" I asked, because I was a real Apple-hater at the time, but she thought it looked so nice and then I got it for her.

The halo effect did the rest for me.
 
iPod Touch (4g) for me, followed by a 13" mbp and likely will be followed by an iPhone 4s sometime in the near future.
