My first APPLE Computer was also a //c. I still have it in the original box with the Monitor ][ (I think we bought it at Microcenter and convinced the sales guy to bundle the larger Monitor ][ instead of the smaller //c monitor). I got it in June 1984, just after it was released. I used my Bar Mitzvah money to buy it. I also bought an Apple Modem 300 and an Epson RX80-F/T+ printer that required a serial to parallel cable.
Shortly afterwards, I bought an external 5.25" drive. Several years later, I bought an external 3.5" disk drive. I still have all these (except the printer) in their boxes in the basement storage.
In college I had roomates who had Mac Plus and Mac SE, so I mainly used their computers.
My first MacOS computer was a Power Computing PowerBase MT 200Mhz G3, which I bought right after it came out in 1996. My wife got an iMac G5 refurb when they were released and I eventually bought a new MacBook about 4 years ago.
However, in the interim, I've also bought and sold a few other iMacs, eMacs, and Mac Minis on Craigslist. We currently have 3 iMac C2D and my MacBook. Next year, I get a new MacBook Pro or Air.
