I had one of the original iMacs. The thing crashed all the time. I had an unbent paper clip always sitting next to it to push into the tiny "restart" hole on the side. Plus it had a round mouse, so you had to visually confirm the orientation before you could use it.

I have a 5th generation iPod. The face is so soft, it was all scratched up after about a month of riding by itself in my pocket with the ear buds.

But I had an earlier Mac (Performa 578) that was pretty good at the time, and a nice laser printer.

I doubt I'll ever buy another Apple product.
