It wasn't 1999, it was beginning 2001. (I found back my first project cut on Avid on Youtube…)
I switched from M100 after they locked captured media to a specific software version, basterds.
I started out with an Meridien Express (Elite I think, with the VDB, on a G4 with expansion chassis.)
I already had the hardware, and with console 'alldrives' I could use non-Avid drives.
I could not afford MC at that time, and no clue what I actually paid.
(I do have the paper administration.)
What I don't get though, according to wikipedia, Meridien wasn't introduced until 2003.
Funny thing:
I still run the Genelec speakers and Yamaha 03D that I already owned several years back then.
(The mixer reasonably priced back then, the Aardvark BB to Wordclock I needed to run the AES board not so, but that thing is also still running.)
