What was your first Mac?
#1
Apple //c http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_IIc

Still remember going with my dad (I must have been 14 or 15 at the time depending on whether we bought it in '84 or '85) to an Apple reseller called Computize here in Houston to pick it up. Bought that along with an ImageWriter II dot matrix printer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ImageWriter#ImageWriter_II

128K Original Macintosh. One of the RAM chips on the motherboard went bad outside the 90 day warranty, and I had to desolder it, remove it, and solder in a new one myself. Sweating all the way!

B&W with a G4 upgrade chip. I had zero interest in Mac OS before OS X came out.

Apple ][+, then upgraded to a Mac Plus.

I had a roommate in college that had and used an Apple I. If there was a more Alpha Geek than him, I've never met the man. Scott's a cryppie at Cisco now. I think he had a hand in WPA security.

It took a while to get through the student store b/c I opted for the 16mb of ram vs. 8 and the 500mb hd vs. the 250. I remember I had to get my stepdad to cosign for the loan. He was a dick and made me fill out a ton of paperwork. But I got it. Along with a 15inch monitor and a Laserwriter 300 or something. I remember I was upset when i found out I had gotten the non-postscript quickdraw version.

Apple IIc in '86, but my first actual Mac was an SE/30 in either '89 or '90. Probably '90.

From four years ago, here's my Mac history:

IIsi (1991)> 8100 (1995) > G3 upgrade (199?) > Beige G3 (2001) > C2D iMac (2007)

Prior to that, I used a friend's 512K fat Mac around 1985-1986 while in college - I think I used it to create a schematic of the logic circuits we had to turn in as assignments during our digital design class.
