#MyFirstMac was a Macintosh IIx.
I was 2 years old, and I still remember the feeling of reaching for the power buttons on the back, opening the "Games" folder in the desktop, and playing Shanghai.

And later, #MyFirstMac (that I actually bought and owned) was a 2009 MacBook Pro!

I will never forget that moment: immediately after getting it, I sat down at the nearest coffee shop at the mall, took it out of the box, and was blown away by the coolest intro video and song. Nothing has topped that since.

@rafa no way, I got the same! MacBook Pro 15”, late 2009. A very big graduation present.

You just made me unlock a memory with that screenshot 😄

It lasted until 2017, and the motherboard went into the oven twice because it started displaying green lines on the screen. I still have it at my parents house 🥹

@rafa @teomatteo89 Same here! I remember packing it out in a car on a highway after picking it up and the intro video also totally blew me away. It’s a moment I’ll never forget!

@rafa The feeling while playing the intro for the first time and the smell - those two will never happen again. 🥲
