It's not what exactly indicated by OP but I'd like to share. I would love to get into retro Apple computing especially the original Macintosh and Macintosh plus.
I use a 2015 MBP for work. It's a company computer so I am not allowed to install personal software. I feel it's a waste as I only run Pycharm and Data grip on it without really "using" and understanding the machine. I'm also a Windows person such that this is the first Apple product I own.
Somehow I got fascinated and did a bit of research, purchased an iBook G4 on ebay and immediately started to play with XCode. Bit I figured that the original Mac was more elegant and I love the fact that it has constrained resources so people were expected to use assembly from time to time.
That said, owning an original Mac is expensive plus it requires certain knowledge amd mindset that even iBook can't grow me into. It wad much like in the old days when we owned an IBM PC and everything including the system disk came and went from floppy disks. So I guess it requires a lot more money than I expected and I also need to learn where to turn to if it broke.
