Wow, all of these posts really make me rethink my humble collection. I always thought I was going a little overboard, but apparently mine is quite average. One thing that really surprises me is how many desktops everyone has. I only have two, my Intel iMac and an old Performa (while there are several desktops that I want, like the iMac DV and G4 Cube shipping costs and storage are prohibitive). My collection focuses almost entirely on portable devices:
Computers: Apple IIc PowerBook 145b PowerBook Duo 230 Performa 630CD PowerBook 5300cs PowerBook 5300ce Powerbook 1400cs/133 PowerBook 3400c/200 PowerBook G3 233mhz (Wallstreet Series II) iBook G4 12" 1ghz PowerBook G4 17" 1.33ghz iMac 20" (Intel) Devices: ImageWriter II Newton MessagePad 120 QuickTake 150 Newton MessagePad 2100 iPod 15gb (third generation) iPod Shuffle (first generation, lost) iPod Classic 80gb iPhone iPhone 3GS Miscellaneous: Mac OS 9.0 in retail box AppleWorks 6 in retail box Macworld collection (1997-2000) Mac Addict CD collection (almost every disc) Steven On Sep 20, 2010, at 9:40 PM, Bill Chapman wrote: > Nah, you can never have too many Macs... well if you have more than 2 of the > same type, maybe. > > Check my lineup: > • Mac Quadra 610 25MHz MacOS 8.6 (my first Mac, secondhand 1996... all my > Macs are secondhand btw) > • Power Mac 7200 90MHz MacOS 8.6 > • Power Mac 7600 120MHz (I think) MacOS 8.6 > • Power Mac 8600 300MHz MacOS 8.6 (on my LAN, still in use...
