Okay. I'm old. Here all the computers I ever had at home:
After a Sinclair ZX81...
and
Never had a PC. Did use some over the years, but never at home.
Let's see…
Not necessarily in order(because I got a bunch of classic Macs AFTER the PowerBook and Power Macs):
I had a Macintosh IIci
Macintosh SE (2)
Macintosh Plus (2)
Macintosh LC
iMac G3 333
iMac G3 400
Powerbook G3 Wallstreet 233
Power Mac G3 300/350/400(overclocked)
Power Mac G5
Hackintosh tower, built from parts from scratch(if it counts)
HP Hackintosh laptop, built from scratch(if it counts)
MacBook Pro 2014
iPad Mini
Mac Mini
MacBook Pro 2021
And somewhere in there, an iPhone 4.
Happy 50th, Apple.
Macs that I’ve had over the years (excluding my vintage Apple collection) are as follows:
LC III (first home computer, and the machine that got me interested in computing to begin with)
PowerBook 1400c/166 (first laptop, was bought for me to take to boarding school)
iMac 333 (tray loading) (first machine I installed OS X on)
MacBook3,1 (my first Intel machine, over time I maxed it out, converted it to a Blackbook and eventually dropped a 2009 logic board in it so I could run newer versions of OS X
iPhone 3GS 8GB (my first iPhone!)
Mid 2012 MacBook Pro (ran it as one of my main machines up until it croaked last year.)
iPhone 6 128GB
iPhone 12 mini 256GB
With the exception of the 3GS, which I had to dispose of due to its battery becoming spicy, I still have them all!
