Mine was Performa computer.



Follow soon after by the original handheld device.. The Newton

The original blue iMac. Bought it at Circuit City on sale for about $500, on November 4th, 2000. Came with two years of CompuServe. Got an email address and signed on to the SETI program the next day. :~)

Ah a ][plus.

---

Well it could be defined as a handheld computer. IPhone 3GS.

My first apple was a second-hand pismo g3 laptop in 1998...



I remember thinking.... 'this internet thing will never going to catch on...'

Forgot to mention that Summer 2000 model iMac lasted me until August 2009, when I bought my current one. A few minutes after I started up the new one, I turned on the old one to get some files, and it literally started smoking and the screen went to a flat line in the middle, and then *poof*. That was that.

Never had a Mac before and I never will have, just don't like it that much. I think Apple is a capitalistic firm, they ask way to much money for Everything, apps, music... Linux otoh is free, much better imo.

Hmm..That's an interesting political statement there Julie.

Oh course it's a Capitalistic firm, it's AMERICAN. lol

Despite what OBAMA says, Government didn't build America.

It didn't build the subway systems, it didn't build the farms, it didn't build the railroad, the roads, write the music.

The only thing it did build is the Interstate Freeway system.

As they said, if you build something and there is a demand for it then it will sell.

Linux maybe free but if it's so great why isn't it the dominant program then?

But enough this, this thread was for the enjoyment of Mac lovers not the Mac bashers. Politics, as you are aware, is in another section.

Reminds of the early years when everyone would say, Oh you have a mac...I'm sorry we can't help you because everyone using microsoft. :p

LOL...

I just don't like it that they're asking money for everything, sorry Zalster, I'll leave you Mac lovers to it:))

I still have my first Mac. I bought it in 1998 because my Amiga had seen better days. It was the first 400MZ Power PC tower that Apple can out with and it lasted till 2006 when I needed something a little bit newer. The only additions to it were additional RAM and another disk drive. I still have it but I but it hasn't been powered up in a while.

I still have my cute little first iMac, but it's picture tube is burned out. I've seen people turn them into miniature aquariums. ;~}

Mine was a Performa 6320, then a 333Mhz iMac, then an eMac and finally a iMac C2D.

The only one left is the eMac and I doubt it will even boot, been sitting for the last 6 years.

My first Apple was the ][e. My second Apple was in 1996; and was one of the clones, a Power Computing 604/132. It came with OS 7.5.2 and I upgraded it to 96 MB RAM from Technology Works. I had a ZIP 100, a Syquest EZ-Flyer 135, and a Syquest Syjet 1.5 GB, all attached by SCSI to an Adaptec 3940UW card. I bought a Quantum Atlas Fast and Wide SCSI drive; can't remember the size, though. I even had a flatbed scanner. Then I bought the full ADOBE software line and Bryce 2.0 for it. It was an amazing graphics system. The last thing I did was upgrade it to OS 8.6.1. This machine cost me $8,000 in 1996; with everything listed here.

I'd used Apple IIc's in school mostly to play educational games, but I consider the first Apple I really used to be the Mac SE. The first one I paid for new was a PowerMac G3 desktop, then I got an iBook and right now an aging MacBook that's still trucking along 6 years later. The iBook still works as well, but without an Intel CPU there isn't much it's good for other than playing old games and using apps that won't run on newer systems.

I am a PC person. My first computer was Sinclair Z80 but my first Apple was a II plus. I worked on debugging the Lisa before the project was cancelled.

Jerry Seinfeld used to have one in his apartment. :~)

For the Apple lovers out there...I was going to say pie.

I've never owned one but my son is going to have to have one I think for university. Kind of dreading it because I REALLY don't know the first thing about them if it came to him needing assistance with anything. Having said that - I think there are a number of setizens who could offer advice - so I'll try not to dread what approacheth too much...

Aspiring Apple lovers of course do this...



:) Not sure you can call that your first - but you could try :)

This was the first computer we had at home...



An Amstrad CPC 464. When it was given to us, it was ten years old, and the only way I could get it to work was with a matchstick jammed into it at a v-e-e-r-y specific angle... but it had a tremendously fun and VERY addictive game with it - so many hours of pleasure :)

But this IS a thread about our first apple computers, and as we are yet to have one grace our home... I thought I'd post this instead, to make sure I'm on topic :)

Internet said it was the absolute first... :)

Let's think back Apple products I have used, and even owned!
A ][ followed by a Lisa (yes, I managed to get hold of one of the very few to escape captivity)
In the mean time it was Atoms, Electrons, BBCs (various), a Commodore Pet, an IBM S36, a few real IBM PCs of various generations, including a few of the micro channel PS2s, loads and loads of PC clones, a couple of Vax, a couple of Harris (slash4 and slash8)...

(In fact the only ones on that list I didn't own were the S36, the two Harris and one of the Vax...)

(and that excludes the various mainframes that I stumbled across en-route)
