I've owned several Apples.
My first being an Apple IIe my dad bought me when I was a kid. =) It used floppy disks (no hard drive) and I had a green monitor but I loved it. I even did some programming on it, haha...not bad for an 8 year-old ( coded my own games in BASIC, and learned some C and even tried a little assembly, but that didn't get far). I had a modem and ran my own BBS (bulletin board system, like a mini-internet). Weird thing for a grade schooler to do, but it was fun!
I remember saving up my allowance & chore funds for a year to buy a $600 10 megabyte hard drive, yes megabytes not gigabytes. 10 megabytes was huge amount of space at the time, and I wanted it to store more files and stuff for my BBS users. My friends eventually talked me out of it as they wanted to start a garageband so I used the funds instead to buy a drum kit. Much better decision as it got me out of the house, and drastically improved my social-life for a pre-teen.
I later owned various Mac's like PowerMac in the 90's. That cost around $6000, about $2000 for the Sony Trinitron 20-inch monitor and $4000+ for the PowerMac itself. Man, computers were expensive back then. I bought my first PC, one the first available Pentium models, a Pentium 66 for around $4000 from Gateway (or was it Micron).
Fast forward to now, I've got a MacBook Pro 15" early 2007 model.
