What was your first Apple product?

[lukefinch]

One of these...

This thing blew both of my parents who bought it me and my minds!

 

[Hammie]

My first

...in elementary school was a IIe.

...in Highschool was a IIc.

...in College was a Mac SE.

...owned was a Performa 6100 Series.

Since then I have owned Nanos, MBPs, Minis, TVs, etc.

In between the 6100 and Mini, I used MANY Windows based machines due to work. I'm glad I have come back to this side of the world.

A 2GB iPod Mini. The iPod fever was at an all-time high

Mac mini G4 1.42 ghz, 512 MB RAM (my wife owned it when we were dating/got married).

I loved it.

First Apple product was a pink Gen 1 iPod Nano with the b&w screen. It blew after a year and I swore I would never buy another Apple product.

Then I was in the Apple store many years later and I had a love at first sight moment with the ipod touch. Since then I have gotten a Nano, iPhone, iPad and MacBook Pro x)

Technically my ipod touch 2g, but my first mac was an iBook g3 last month, oh how slow it is, I just got an iMac g3 snow with Tiger and it's almost as fast as my Pentium 4 3.14ghz (I think its .14, might be 3.4) And that's why macs are better XD

My First Apple Product was the iPod 3rd Gen. I still have it but it needs a new screen and HDD but parts are so expensive I cannot justify the cost of the parts
Besides that i was an apple hater for a long time until I gave in and bought my '08 White MB (Thanks VISTA!)

 

[randomerratum]

An iMac given to me by an employer to run Final Cut Pro on. When I found myself using it as my personal computer as well is when I totally gave up windows.

Soon after, I got an iPod - 2nd or 3rd gen (can't remember) and I've been hooked on Apple's stuff ever since.

 

[iDrifter]

My first Mac was the Performa 6300 CD . After everyone advise against buying an Apple product, I still went ahead and got the best all-in-one Mac. I have the last laugh.

 

[quizzi]

Since then I've owned (in chronological order):

An iPod 3rd Generation 40GB with touch buttons.
An iPhone 3GS 32GB in black.

My first Apple product was the black MacBook. I still have it and it runs great.

 

[boss.king]

My first personal Apple product was my iPod nano 1st gen. Still have it and use it for working out but the battery isn't what it used to be. We always had a Macs at home though (while I was growing up) so I dunno if that counts.

 

[messedkid]

1st gen Macbook - white. Sold.
2nd gen iPod Shuffle - 1GB - silver. Lost it somewhere in Vancouver whilst intoxicated.
2nd gen iPod Touch - 8GB - black. Broke it somehow. lol
6th gen iPod Classic - 80GB - black. ex-girlfriend broke it.
6th gen iPod Nano - 16GB - silver. Filled out a survey at school. Got it in the mail 2 weeks later.

 

[Simon Templar]

[R94N]

The 2nd gen iPod Shuffle that I still use.

 

[oMc]

Not sure about the exact reference of my first Mac, because when I was young my father worked as an affiliated technician for Apple in France, and a lot of Apple computers have gone through home.

But I am sure that we still have a SE30 and a Color Classic at home

 

[NZed]

iPod Nano 4gb black given by my cousin who broke half of the screen and didn't want it anymore.

Its now in 2 pieces, front half and back half with a dead batt in between.

Played with them for years at school and college. First Apple purchase was a 3G iPod, 15gb! Still alive too thanks to a replacement battery.

 

[Sodner]

This was my first ever Apple product....

But it was this, that start my obsession with Apple....

I watched the Key Note that Steve gave on the iPhone 4, and I was floored. I preordered and got mine on release day by buying out my Verizon contract I had been using with a Moto Droid. (That was not cheap.) Been a fanboy ever since.

 

[FredTheDeadHead]

in 1980....

Apple ][ Plus, had 48 k of memory.
1 Apple floppy disk.
1 third party floppy disk.
Andromeda 16 k memory expansion card, that could 'freeze' hi-mem.
Epson MX-80 printer.
Spies printer card, that could do near-letter-quality on the MX-80.
I forget the monitor brand, but it was a very popular 13 inch color display.

Added a Novation Apple-Cat modem later.

It lasted me until the Mac came out in '84.

First Apple product I ever used: Apple II and IIe, in high school.

First Apple software I used on a computer I owned: iTunes for Windows. Even though the software was in its infancy, I still preferred this over Musicmatch, Windows Media Player and of course RealPlayer.

First Apple hardware I possessed: An old IIe, given to me by a relative. I kept it around for a few months, but gave it back when the nostalgia factor wore off.

First Apple hardware I purchased: iPod Nano 4Gb 2nd gen, blue. Up to that point, the nano was the most elegant piece of electronic hardware I had ever had. It worked perfectly with my already well-established iTunes for Windows library, no extra configuration needed; this combination led me to investigate getting into the Mac side of things. I'd still be using it today had it not been taken in a burglary.

1st gen iPod nano. In black. I remember being so happy to get this

Lovely. That's still a great iPod. I use mine regularly when I go for a run.

 

[diotav]

2001: First gen. iPod mini in PINK! At the time it was the last one available in the whole country. The color didn't matter since I wanted it so bad. Really impressed everybody at school.

Don't want to think about what I've spend on Apple products over the years.
