What is your favourite Apple product?

I like the orignal macintosh, and the mac mini is cute as a button. I must say though that after walking trhough your average computer store with the towers they have, I come home and am once again impressed with the smooth elegance of my Quicksilver. It just looks so smooth, flowing and shiny compared to the wierd looking rough textured pc cases.

Just wish I could stuff a G5 in there, not really a fan of the big G5 towers...

Hmm... Hard question with so many answers. if I were to pick 1, it would probably be the Mac OS in general. It was always my fave, and why I kept buying macs over and over.

Runners up... my ipod, my mac mini, quicktime and my old imagewriter. i always loved that pinfeed stuff!
 
I recently joined the iPod revolution. Got myself a closeout original mini 4gb for $179.

I never thought I'd be so "into" a portable music player. I've had a few over the years. In fact, I carried around a Rio Volt MP3 cd player for about 3 years or so. But... I just don't understand exactly *what* is so... cool; useful; friendly; sexy; unique; (pick one) about the iPods, but it's definitely one of those rare products - once you have one there's no going back.

I've already gotten an iTrip, I'm looking at remotes (for when I'm on the motorcycle) and for RF/Bluetooth headphones (for when I'm at home and/or the office). It's a little bit of a life-changing product.

Really.

I'd still give it up before the iBook, tho', so I guess that remains my favorite.
 
I gotta say the iMac G5- I can't believe this one wasn't more mentioned- I think it gets looked down on because it's not quite as fast as it's older brother the G5 tower, but I think that it is an incredible design. I mean, what other computer company can fit a 64 bit processor, a totally serparate GPU, a jem of a screen, all of the ports, a mic, and the best system out there into something more compact than a regular pc screen? It is really at an apex of innovation in the computer market.

My favourite would have been the 23" dual G5 iMac, but it doesn't exist yet. :p

I would agree that it's the OS - since system 6 when I started using them.

Funny thing about the hardware is that, while it is great, there's always some little thing missing. eg My 1400 was sleek and fine, but the top RAM limit was just a smidge too low. The DVD iMac was fabulous, so why the 11 gig HD? It was for doing movies. I really loved my clamshell (especially after putting in a 30 gig hd) the easiest machine ever for typing, but the VRAM was just a tad short of being inadequate. I don't need FM in my iPod, but voice recording would really rock! And I wouldn't begin to contemplate running the mini without a serious RAM upgrade.

Still, it's the stuff that runs the OS, so we put up with it - no real problem, but it's part of why PC folks complain. (Of course the other reason is that they are small minded AR jerks, but that may be flame bait ;) )
 
My 1st Mac the SE30 and its FPU. I've kept it eventhough it's dead :-(

Runners up :

Imac G5 17" especially since I changed the power supply !
Airport Express
The cube that can be turned into something fun :http://home.comcast.net/~jleblanc77/cube/ and the MacMini

On the soft side : OSX, iTunes, Mail and iChat
