@jeff @caseyliss @siracusa All the Mac 40th anniversary #MyFirstMac and https://computerhistory.org/events/insanely-great have triggered a huge wave of nostalgia :-) Now I'm in the process of finally trying to get my data off my SE/30…

As I've been blogging for over 20 years (crumbs) I dug out my original blog post about #MyFirstMac. 20th May, 2004.

I bought #MyFirstMac brand new in 2004: a 15" Powerbook G4, 2nd generation (Aluminum), 1.33 GHz, 512 MB RAM (later upgraded to 1 GB RAM).
I got it because my then girlfriend, now wife, had a 1st generation Powerbook G4 (Titanium) and I thought it was quite good compared to my piece of crap PC laptop.
It came with Panther (OS X 10.3) and I upgraded to both Tiger (10.4) and Leopard (10.5), as they came out. Back then, it cost $125.00 per major release to purchase a CD to upgrade.

#myfirstmac was this. It was 2006 and it was wonderful.

#MyFirstMac was a 128k Mac in Sept/Oct 1984 in my freshman year at U of Rochester- the Electrical Engineering Intro to Programming class used Mac Pascal which was great- the prof had a Lisa. Somehow I scraped up enough to upgrade via 3rd party to 512k RAM, and added an 800kb external floppy to cut down on the floppy wack-a-mole. I still have the machine and carry bag- I need to check the capacitors and battery. Macs ever since if you count the Power Center Pro clone.

#MyFirstMac was my family’s Mac Plus (1987).
The first Mac my brother and I shared in our room was an iMac DV+ Sage (2000). We won a cash sweepstakes that paid for it.
My first Mac I didn’t share with anyone was the first 17” MacBook Pro, Core Duo (2006). First generation Intel Mac, ran so hot you could fry an egg on it.

#myfirstmac I bought Mac for a first time in my life after working 25 years in the IT industry. It’s a M3 max MacBook Pro #apple #MacBookProM3 #newadventure

@claudiom #MyFirstMac: none (yet, but those #AppleSilicon Mac's are **very** appealing) 🦾🤖

#MyFirstMac was a 1985 FatMac, with 512K, some of which I used to run a ramdisk to make up for only having one 3.5" disk drive.
I hauled it off to college along with a portable dot-matrix printer, which briefly terrified my roommates because who has electronic gear instead of a wardrobe?
However, they were happy to write papers on it, and it was even used to design some of the drafts of the Spermbusters posters. Not so nerdy after all, huh?

I got #MyFirstMac shortly after Apple switched to Intel CPUs in 2006. It was a sleek white MacBook with Intel Core Duo.
I felt confident enough to make the switch, knowing that there was x86 support for more familiar operating systems through Boot Camp. I was using mid-tier HP laptop with Linux and had been lusting over Macs for quite some time (#iPod being the gateway-drug).
Once I got Mac in my hands and had chance to use OS X every other operating system started to look downright ancient.

#MyFirstMac was an original Mac 128 in February 1984. I’ve had many Mac’s since then.

This was #myFirstMac; a 2015 MacBook. 8gb of ram and 128gb of storage. Covered in random stickers from the conferences I used to attend. And it's still in use! It's been relegated to being my D&D laptop, that pretty much runs Spotify and Roll20.

#MyFirstMac was a Mac 512k purchased in November 1984. I used the very first bonus I received from my employer and went to Surveyor Supply Station in Apex, NC — our local Apple reseller (literally, a company that provided surveying and surveying tools, but the owner was also a bit of a nerd, and started a Mac business on the side).
Tinkering with MacWrite and MacPaint was literally awe-inspiring and set me on a lifelong journey with Macs.

#myfirstmac was a #hackintosh I built myself with… I think Empire EFI? I did have a legally purchased copy of OSX though. I was poor and wanted to explore the ecosystem. Also, being the cocky nerd I was I kinda wanted bragging rights to having Mac, Windows, and Linux on the same machine.
My daily driver is currently an M1 MPB, and my home server is my old intel MBP running Linux.

Ich habs geschafft bei einem Stöckchen mitzumachen, bevor es komplett vergammelt ist!

I’ve used Macs my entire life. The first time I touched one was I think the 128k in the office where my dad worked. Maybe a 512? Late 80s early 90s so who knows. I drew tons of things in MacPaint. Played some games I don’t remember. Loved it.

I never really knew Macs in anything more than a cursory way before 2005. A couple of friends had given me demos and I just didn’t find the appeal. I could use the SEs and Classics in one of the computer labs to check email, but other systems on PCs were my go-tos. #MyFirstMac was the original Mac mini, the first Mac I thought I could afford to fit into my computing hobbies. I fell hook, line, and sinker into the Apple ecosystem, downsized everything else, and wouldn’t have it any other way.
-
My first Mac: I bought a PowerBook G4 in college so I could run apps like MATLAB locally via X11 (or stream them over the network) instead of using a thin client in a lab. I've had a Mac around ever since!

My first awareness for Apple computers in my life began with the original iMac. Here’s a brief rundown of my history with #Apple computers beginning with #myFirstMac
To my mind, this is the computer that introduced the concept of a computer possessing personality and consideration toward aesthetics.
Before this iMac, every computer was an off-yellow, beige box of corporate-doom heralding an era of oppressively questionable design choices – the iMac became the computer of the people, for humans, for individuality.

#MyFirstMac was the 2010 15” MacBook Pro. I had just moved to the US a few months prior, I was 16 and in high school. With it I started learning how to program with Objective-C and iOS 4. Used it for 7 years and still have it sitting in a closet.
This was me the morning I got it at a Best Buy 😅 #blunderyears

Happy Mac intro day to those who celebrate. For those who boggle at the Vision Pro price, note the price on this puppy back in 1984 - these are Canadian dollars. 128K of RAM, a single 400K floppy drive ($7 each for a floppy!)
no regrets. #macintosh40 #macintosh128 #myfirstmac
