Oops sorry, I was 14, I got it in May 2011.Was 4th gen even out yet, 4 years ago?
The model has been listed right below the photo, it is an "iPod Photo" and is no longer being sold since 2005 or so.
Here you can find all iPod models from Apple.
A friend of my mom's gave me a iMac G3 Bondi Blue back when I was in 4th or 5th grade (around 2002), all I remember is that it was an awesome computer, except when the hard drive crashed on the second day I had it
Haven't owned anything but a mac since... well, except for that brief period of insanity where I bought an HP Elitebook, but the BSODs quickly sorted that out.

My first Apple product was an iPod Nano 1st Gen (White). I got it from a friend it worked great. Few months later I upgraded to the Nano 5th Gen (Black) though. I chose it over a Nano 6th gen because the 5th Gen Nano was brilliantly designed and I loved it.
Put me down for one of these also as my first Apple product. I only ever used it for word processing though. Sad, huh?

Mine was used for the same kind of purposes, altho i did play a fair bit of Prince of Persia, Lemmings etc back in the day.
First Apple product
My first Apple Product was a Mac Plus in 1988. Had two slots, insert the systems disc in one and specialty software in the other to work - save work on the disc or another disc.
Followed that in 1989 with and SE30Special -- (30gb hd -- insane, no one could ever use that much hd...). Friend was an agent. Got it at a discount for $6500.
----------
Oh, we used the Mac Plus to drive a 21 projector/lazer convention show. Had it programmed on a disc -- had to hold audience outside for 10 minutes. Program would not start. Eject disc. Plug it back in. Did that about 10 times as we were sweating "blood" -- last time -- it started. Pause, bring in audience -- crossed fingers, hit pause again, show took off without a hitch. Ran perfect from then on.

The first Apple product I purchased for myself was a 20 GB iPod Color from the Fall of 2005. My parents bought me an Apple II when I was a kid, but that probably doesn't count since it was purchased for me (I was kindergarten aged).
The first Apple computer I purchased myself was a a 14" iBook G4 from January 2006.

Ah, my trusty old 2nd-gen iPod nano I got for my 12th birthday. This thing was amazing for listening to my entire music collection (a whopping 80 songs!) while I mowed lawns during the summer.
Apologies for the poor photography.
And yes, I am still using Windows Vista on my primary computer. I'm in desperate need of an upgrade.
