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.

I like OSX86, not because of the price, but because I can use hardware that Apple doesn't offer, eg Core 2 Quad, Core i7

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.

I got all mac:s listed on the list, but I use only my Macbook Pro (late 2008) and Mac Pro. The others are everything from a Lisa to PowerBook G4.

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).

I feel bad that I used to have a g5 imac, but I sold it when I moved... I kept a mini, and some 68000 stuff...

Too bad multiple selections weren't allowed... or all the mac's that you've owned in the past...

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.

I've got a handful of Apples in my apartment:

MacBook (2.0ghz/3GB)
G5 (Dual 1.8/4GB)
iMac G4 (700mhz/128)

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.

I got my first Mac last weekend. :]

Aluminum MacBook. The one without a backlit keyboard. I can type in the dark just fine, why do I need a light for my fingers?

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.)
