What was your first Apple product?

My first Mac was the first Mac. Apple had its "Test Drive a Mac" program where people could take a Mac home to try out. This left my college's book store with several demo Macs available for purchase. For $1,200 I got the Mac and a soft padded case to transport it.

The first Apple product I ever used was an iMac G3. It was our "kids' PC" in the family room that my siblings and I played educational games on. My dad upgraded it to the new Intel iMac in 2006.
The first Apple product I personally owned was an iPhone 5C, in green. My parents bought it for me in 2013, when I was in middle school. It was my first smartphone. Shortly after that I got a brand new 13" MacBook Air (before that I'd been using my brother's old MacBook Pro with a CD drive in it and I had a Dell Inspiron laptop that I played games on).
(I just realized this thread is in the picture gallery. Whoops. I don't actually have any pictures of these products, they're long gone. I liked them a lot though).

Macbook Air Mid-2013. I'm using it right now and it still works fine, which just shows what a great machine this model is.
My first Apple product was an Early 2008 15" MacBook Pro that I got in 2016 when I was around 11. It was one of the only models of "Aluminum MBP" (pre-unibody) I've ever seen that was in FLAWLESS condition. Everything worked, and it'd been well-taken care of. I sold it a long time ago in favor of a 2010 iMac (which I only had for about a year), because at the time, I didn't know patchers existed, so I thought that El Capitan was the latest I could go. I don't have the 2010 iMac anymore either. My parents have owned Apple products since the G3 days, but that was the first Apple product I officially owned.

Not my first Apple product, but upon cleaning out my wife’s grandparents attic I found a very cool item. There is an unopened iMac G4 that they were given as a gift that they never opened. Not sure what I’m going to do with it or if it’s even worth anything but cool nonetheless.

I believe it was a Mac 512k or a Mac Plus, can’t recall. I remember upgrading to an SE/30 in grad school. I had a padded carrying case and was able to put it in the overhead compartment when flying. Good times!
