I don't think I still have the invoice, but my first Mac was a PowerMac 6100/60, with an Apple monitor, keyboard and mouse (keyboard was extra, back then!) cost just over £1600. My most expensive Mac was a PowerBook G3 400MHz Wall Street, which was nearly £3k, if I recall correctly.   Looking back, most of the Macs I've bought have been around the £1700 mark, but increasing in power and functionality each time. _________________My Flickr | Snaptophobic BloggageHeather Kay: modelling details that matter.

I think my first Mac, the LC 630 DOS Compatible, with the TV tuner card, cost about the £1700 mark as well. Had a 15" display with it.

Amazing specs for the time Mark, did you spec it up as high as it would go?

Maybe it's a bit harsh to blame the MacBook. At the moment, I'm having problems with my battery charger, camera, dishwasher, DVD player, games console, kettle, keyboard, lamp, MacBook, microwave, PC, printer, router, scanner, shaver, speakers, television, toaster, web camera. That's just to name a few! Peter. _________________A Mac user

My family's first Mac must've been an iMac G3. I've no idea what sort of spec it was.
