Got a Macbook Pro and it's officially my worst buy ever. I've had it for 3 months and used it maybe twice, once attempting to get Windows working on it and once to jailbreak my iphone.

Macintosh LCII [1992] PowerBook 180 [1992] PowerBook 190cs [1995] Power Macintosh G3 Beige [1997] PowerBook G3 [1999] MacBook Pro [Early 2008]
I want to get a Power Macintosh G4 soon. My school offers a discount for them, which comes with the machine, monitor, keyboard, and mouse, and it's about $150 I want to say. I believe the guy used to work for Apple, and before, he had the G3 B&W Towers, but now he upgraded to the G4. I'm not sure which video card or model they are, I just know they aren't the latest build.

Partly =D
Of course I didn't get most of the Mac:s when they were brand new. I got 6 Mac:s when they were new, the rest were aquired for the collection through various sources (ebay, companies etc).

Also, used to have iMac G4 but it was stolen (along with 2 other computers)
And i always wanted to have G4 Cube...
Do you have the Processor card for the Performa? Meaning, can you natively run DOS programs on there easily? I always thought those types of Mac would kinda neat for the fact that you could run Windows and Mac on both [before the transition to Intel].

They can spend as much as they want, the taxpayers foot the bill.

At home I've got a handful of PPC Apple and Power Computing boxes sitting in my closet, as well as few G4s, one of which recently became an iTunes server for my parents' AppleTV.

Where are my 68ks?
My 68ks went into the garbage or were given away years ago. Looking back, I wish I had hung on to one or two of them.
As a side note, did many people here actually use 68k Macs on a regular basis for work/school? (I know BA skews kinda young, and the last 68k Macs were discontinued about 14 years ago.)
