The first one I bought was a PPC 7500/100
The first one in our family was a IIc
The first one in our school that I used was a IIe or a IIplus

I forget.... I think mine was 3-something or maybe 4 -- running on one of those machines where you had to boot off the floppy (either a 512 or whatever came right after that -- what was that, the Mac Plus?)... It's all faded into the mists of time..... I remember it was really cool when I got an actual hard drive that would hold my OS & software & files even! And it was HUGE!!! 20MB! I couldn't imagine how I would EVER fill up that much space...

I also remember publishing a magazine laid out using PageMaker 1.0 right after it first came out -- yeah, that was a while ago....

Mine was a Mac II SE. Two floppy drives, and I thought I was hot shit when I added my own internal 30MB SCSI hard-drive. I think I was running System 7 at the time. It was a great machine.

..Phil,
..lol ..some of us have used sys's 2.7 - 9.x and still do..
7.1 was a lousy operating system, btw..6.8 was the best of that generation..

..yeah,
odd numbered old oses generally sucked . even numbered were the one's to get your hands on .i.e., 7.1 was a dog
i've complete sets of like 6.2 and..you must remember . .the ole Quicktime® 6.2, also . That particular ver. worked up until and including sys 9.1
9.2 is optimized for wintel®. don't use it .
6.2 was on seven 3.5" diskettes .it was still 640k ..the kernal , i believe uniX was a 640k kernal os also, until about 1999
moving forward now. osX is not 640 k . . hah hah . .nor is Lunix® . .. linux has jumped to one gig
my recommedation would be to find the 7 x 6.2 os series diskettes and the extra Quicktime® 4.2 diskette and install that on your Lisa's and mac +'s or SE's
then just down load the old classic Quicktime® 6.2 . i was making live music videos with that setup in ≠ 1999 using a usb camera and internal mic on a G3 Powerbook
and Apple Video® .i believe that 6.2 was the first os that allowed one to get online a decent baud rate, also, then again, i was online with Compuserve® and GE®net in 1989 @1,200 with my mac + and Hayes® external modem . Mars Rovers are all macs . i still have 1986 ACTA® if n e one needs it . It was the program that gave up the triangles that turn when you click on them , early javascripting ® like the watch you see with the spinning hands ...to this day . .

Yup ,
i worked on an Apple® // clone in micronesia once ≠ 1980
it was an Orange ® from Taiwan or something
the motherboard was all blistered from the humidity - hopeless case
Apple® // had c o l o r though
Mac +'s & SE's were great ..esp. if you had a Stylewriter® or an Imagewriter® printer
i just figgered out that the * new * ' Spaces ' is actually where the Widgets® reside
my guess i s that Apple® is developing an all Java® os at the moment
they must have licensed it from Sun Microsystems®
