A Hackintosh ~2007/8 if it counts - it's what started me down the path of enlightenment.

In college I used a first-gen, 128K Mac with one floppy drive and no other storage. I got it secondhand as a high school graduation gift from my stepmom.

Since then, I have bought a MacBook, a 13" MBP, a 13" MB Air (gift for my stepmom) two iPads (one was a gift for my dad), an iPad 2 (gift for my mom), an iPhone 3G, an iPhone 4, a first-gen iPod, a 80GB iPod Classic, a second-gen iPod Nano, a fourth-gen iPod Nano, and a first-gen iPod Shuffle.

First that I owned was the original Mac mini, and it still holds my iTunes library.

First computer that was "all mine" and not a family shared one was an LCII. We previously had Mac Plus, SE, IIgs, etc.

Apple II GS ... programming with Logo back in elementary school, and then eventually my parents ponied up for an Apple II clone at some point, though i can't remember the manufacturer or model.

Good times. Ultima III, Ultimate IV, Logo ... that's where it all started.

I started out with a heathkit H8... After that I bought an apple ][ not the +... And after that it was a /// (big failure) traded that in for a Mac 128K. Upgraded that to the FatMac 512K I didn't do the job but I bought the kit and had a friend solder the chips (piggyback them). So much fun! Now I don't even own any apple products. It's all been PC's ... sadly...

I am a big fan still of the 6502!

In 2006, my Alienware laptop was falling apart, and I was considering replacing it with a Mac. To see if I could get used to OS X, I bought an 800MHz iBook G4 on eBay. I very much enjoyed it and very quickly followed up with a 2GHz Core Duo MacBook Pro. That system lasted me until spring 2008, when I replaced it with the MacBook Pro in my signature.
