The first Mac I used was a 512k. I worked at what I'm guessing was one of the first places to rent out Macs by the hour. There was one location that was open 24 hours and you could find at least two or three Macs being used any time of day. There were times you could come in at 2:00 in the morning and find every computer in use.
The first Mac I owned was an SE. Eventually I added an external 20MB hard drive ($700), a 68030 accelerator and RAM in an amount you wouldn't even find in a give away thumb drive.
From there I kicked around in a IIsi, a couple of LCs (I still have one of them), a IIci, a B&W smurf and a DP G5 Power Mac. I have an iPhone, but have never owned a laptop.
Every single Mac I've ever used has made me feel at least a little like I was living in the future.
