first mac?

[uoba]

was an PowerMac 8200/120 with a blazingly fast 32mb ram. Then a G3 300 AV (lovellllyyyy machine).

Now onto the G4 466.

Which brings me onto my question: I am deciding between a new g4 or a new iMac (I know the pros and cons between processors blah blah blah...) but, the iMac allows for two monitors. However, Apple states this is for just mirroring the LCD screen. CAN YOU CREATE A DUAL-MONITOR DESKTOP with the new iMacs??? This is crucial to my decision. Cheers ears!

Oh, and my very first computer: a BBC Micro B 32k (UK only I think)!

AFAIK, no, you can't.

First I used: Macintosh Plus (first gen, beige one, later there were gray ones)
First I owned: Spectre GCR emulator for Atari ST (that one was as fast as a Mac Plus but the STf had 640*400 resolution, which was more screen real estate)
First REAL Mac I owned: PowerBook 150 (great little PowerBook, VERY light @ 2.5kg, great battery running time, bad screen 4 megs of RAM with System 7.1 and RamDoubler )

A BigMac, but I switched to the MacRib after half a year...

I have good memories of my LCIII...I got it for my birthday with the Multimedia kit that had the external CDROM and the big apple pro speakers (I also got a 2400 bps supra fax modem and a mousestick II joystick). I remember how excited I got when I brought it home and set it up for the first time...it's like your first girlfriend, no others are quite the same. Those pro speakers were awesome, I was still using them on my PM 7500 years later and they are still pumping out tunes as if brand new. I had a lot of fun with prince of persia, oregon trail, and sim city on that mac...LOL...those were the days...

The first Mac I used oftem was a Classic (I think a 512k) with no hard drive, but an enormous external 40MB SyQuest drive.

Soon after this one of our friends became the proud owner of the incedibly expensive (something like $12,000) Mac IIfx...

The first Mac I owned personally was a 7200. (It was a peice of c&@p... I should have spent the extra $ on the 7500.)

First Mac I ever owned was a Mac Classic when I was around 4 or 5 or 6, don't remember exactly. I Have no memory what the specs were. It's now in a closet in my dad's office, but it still works fine! I started it up, not too long ago, and it is really surprising how fast it started up! It was 6.0.4, I believe, and it had basically nothing to load on startup, so it was really fast! Noticed how the OS X System Preferences really are like the old control panel from System 6, as it was just one window with different preference "panes".

First Mac I ever owned that was my own was a Performa 636CD. That one was 33 MHz, with around a 250 MB HD (don't remember exactly), and 8 MB of RAM, which I maxed out to 40 megs of RAM, LOL!
