Born in '68, used my first computer in 1980 at Suny Albany.  Punch 
cards, ya know, and line-printing terminals.

First desktop was a Bell and Howell "Black Apple" in (I think) 1981 or 
1982, not sure.

First owned computer was a TS/1000.

First REAL owned computer was a Mac 512Ke in 1986. ($2500 or so with 
Imagewriter // printer and extra floppy drive.)

Largest single computer purchase: $3.8M for work.

Favorite computer ever owned: Gee, that's a tough one, but I'll have to 
stick with the 512Ke.  Dual floppies, no HD, but I did a *lot* with that 
booger.  Runner up would be (collective gasp from the fellow mac-haters) 
my Zenith Z-248 issued to me at Clarkson.  I actually used that quite a 
bit for programming, etc.  In its last config, it ran Windows 3.0 with 
3M of XMS and dual 660M FH ESDI hard drives.
