ilikelmo25 Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 This topic is self explanatory. What was your first Mac you ever used. Whether it be in a shop, someone elses house, in your own home, which ever place it was, all the Mac users out there had a first. My first Mac was, if I remember correctly, an iMac G3 in Telstra Tower. I was very confused about the round hockey puck mouse (being a Windows fan and used to PC mouses) I wasn't used to it and didn't use it very much as I found it strange to use. Also I wasn't use to the user interface being Mac OS 9 (or 8, not sure). Being used to Windows 98, it can be quite a big step and I wasn't at the time prepared to take it. Of course that was a long time ago when I was little and I've changed a lot since then. Currently, I use an iMac G3 regularly for e-mail, iTunes, internet and classic games and now with a hockey puck mouse. Strange how at one stage you can think, "What is this? This looks strange." and then a few years later you can have one sitting on your desk and you using it regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~pcwiz Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I first used a iMac G3 Rev. A/B (those old tray loading colorful ones) but if you want to know what was the oldest mac I used, it was a Mac Plus. EDIT: The only Macs I bought were an iMac G3 500MHz (running Panther) and an old Macintosh Performa 5200CD running OS 8.6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.SubZero Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 In a "first time I used one" it would be 1990, We had a Mac in our high school classroom that we used for programming. The earliest Macs I used were the original ones. One job I had involved taking broken Macs of various models, tearing them apart, and trying to make some working ones. I got to de-charge Mac CRTs on a daily basis! zZZZt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
