Hm, interesting topic: 

First video game console: Magnovox Odyssey 
First computer used: TRS-80 Model 1 16kb and (Woohoo) tape interface
First computer owned: Amiga 500 followed by an IBM XT to run Minix.
First computer that I really got into: Amiga 500 via Matt Dillion's DICE C.
First Sun: 3/80 pieced together from scrounged parts. Never "quite" worked 
right... 
First SPARC: IPX w/weitek
First SMP machine: only if having a SunPCi counts as the second cpu ;'>
Favorite machine: Currently my Vaxstation 4000/90. That puppy rocks!

"Biggest" depends on definition. Biggest I have root on is the E220R database 
server we have, or else the VAX cluster at St. Cloud State back in the day.  

"Still on the Need to Get List": any one of: 3/150, 3/160, 3/260, 4/110ME, 
4/150M, 4/260, 4/330, or 4/370 as they are the machines that Symbolics 
certified the UX400 and UX1200 to work on under SunOS 4.1.
