Our First and Favorite Apple Memories
Jacob Krol
My first memory of Apple would have to be of the iMacs; As it was the computers of choice in my school district. I fell in love with them immediately and it was such an easy yet powerful OS to navigate. The first product I bought was back in January of 2005 when the original iPod Shuffle came out. That is still one of my favorite designs for a product and it was incredibly simple.

I remember receiving my first iPod Mini and absolutely falling in love with it! I took it everywhere–on car rides, to school, on walks. It was comforting knowing I had the company of music with me all the time.
Benjamin Starr
My favorite apple product is the original iPod nano. It was small, durable, and had a great electronic interface. It is sentimental to me as it was my first apple product.
