Not long ago I read of someone, perhaps someone on this list, who'd reached over 100 machines, after giving up smoking and spending the $$ on macs. My mac obsession did start with spare $$ from giving up - 11 months for me - it's far cheaper in the end, and far more fun :D > Why Quadras? Going back to when I liked the look of LC's (but not owning any macs at the time) I was heavily into Amigas. 68030 and 040 CPU's are what I knew well. It's a bit of a recapturing-a-never-misspent youth, mixed with staying with what I know. I'm very heavily into collecting by case design now, and Q605's for me are the top there. I may as well collect their family!. x100PPC's and 68030 macs also have a place in my home. x600's and G3 minitowers are the next phase I think - just because they're kind of pretty, and because cheap obsessions are just eccentric like that :) dana -- unnaturally hosted on a Q605, http://www.danamania.com/ -- -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
