LC475. I loved that computer. It was my Dads, but I think I used it more than him when I wasn't at school.
I'm surprised that's unbelievable to you -- I daily drive a 15" and regularly use a G3 for stuff. Plenty of people online keeping care of computers from the '70s.
This and this:
I can't remember which one came first, but they were both bought very close together. The MacBook was a base model 2007 that I bought for sixth form college (but rarely used it for that purpose in the end haha) and the iPod nano was a present - it was silver and 4 GB IIRC.
We also had a 2006 iMac G5 (with iSight camera built in) but that was the family Mac and not one that I could call my own so to speak.

Apple //e. This exact setup right here with the green monochrome display and dual Disk ][ drives.
My first Apple device was a 2007 white CoreDuo MacBook. Coming from Unix/Linux, I liked that OSX Tiger was also Unix under the hood, so I could use my trusted Unix commands in Terminal. Gave it to my sister when I upgraded to a 14-inch MacBook Pro in 2009, she has used it since for email and light-duty web browsing. During that time I upgraded the HDD twice, upgraded OS X finally to Leopard, and replaced the ribbon cable feeding the display and camera. That last repair showed the plastic lid having become brittle over time, requiring superglue to fix the display panel back into place. Otherwise, still going strong.😍
P.S. That 2009 14-inch MacBook Pro (the last model before the unibodies) also still going strong with another relative. Indestructible those models were...

iPhone XS Max, before I was an avid android User, only took me to switch jobs and start using iMac and and iPhone to push me to (then) Darkside that was apple for me, I have since then, every iPhone pro released, AirPods Pro, AirPods Max and AirPods 3, OG HomePod , iPad 10th gen, iPad Pro 2018 12.9' and M1 MBA. fully invested now I guess oh and Apple TV 4K
It is not unbelievable to me. The statement was for people who are not familiar with that particular system and its build quality. I took the system around the world and it got me through MBA school.

The Macintosh Color Classic back in 1993. Had been a PC user up to that time, but got curious. I wish I still had it, because it was definitely a Classic.
I found this machine so fascinating when it came out. I knew it didn't meet my needs, but I just couldn't stop thinking about it.
The Blueberry iMac 333mhz, upgraded to the iMac DV in Tangerine a couple months later....
