My first mac, a beige G3, was ordered from Apple via telephone. My second mac, the aluminum G5 PPC, was ordered from Apple via the net. And my third mac, the new Macbook, was bought at an Apple store.

I miss my beige G3 :(

I got both my MacBook and iMac from Amazon. Best prices around at the time - and no tax! And, of course, free shipping.

I got my original MacBook from Apple online (a week or two after it was released, it is the core dual intel one) and my current one I got from the Apple Store in Sheffield (Meadow Hall).

My original iPod Shuffle was from PC World, my Nano was from Cancom in Brighton.

Most software also from Cancom or KRCS, both brilliant authorised Apple sellers.
