MIne:

1. Mac Plus - 1986
2. SE
3. LC II
4. PowerBook 180
5. PowerBook 3500, Kanaga
6. PowerBook Pismo - currently using this one
7. iBook 12" 800 Mhz
8. ibook 14" 700 Mhz
9. G4 PowerBook 12" for office

May be one or two more I can't remember.... I'm definitely not a desktop user. Last one was the LC II, and I don't miss the hugeness of a desktop at all. For me, a laptop is what a computer should be.

I'm gonna blow some minds here, but my first Mac was an Atari ST. There was a great hardware/software hack called GCR, by Dave Small that used the Atari game cartridge port and a cartridge with 128k Apple ROM chip. (You were on your own to find someone with an Eprom burner to make the ROM chip for you). There was a floppy disk cable that allowed a standard floppy to R/W and format in the Apple format. If you had a hard drive there was a software hack that let you partition a portion of your hard drive in Macintosh format. The emulation was of a Mac Plus. This was circa 1985-6.

I was able to run the full blown Mac programs of the day, PageMaker, Illustrator etc. With Fontographer I could convert PC based fonts to Mac format (arrh remember DA Font mover?)

After that it was most every top end Mac from Centris 610 to PPC G-5 Dual.
