I had a IIgs, even Woz signed.  I had it all souped up: 170 MB hard drive,
4.25 MB RAM, was looking to get a Second Sight card... and it was stolen!  I
still miss that machine.

Those machines were great for tinkering, though you had to be a bit careful
at times.  With the hard drive on a card and the memory on two other cards
(taking one motherboard slot - but one card had a slot to piggy back
another!) the cards were so close together that you needed to insulate them
from each other and from the side of the case with cardboard or whatever.

At some point I will have an Intel Mac... likely when PShop and some other
programs get upgraded.
