First mac was a sawtooth g5 450.. but since then I have brought everyone in my family a mac. hehe

I have

1. PowerMac g5 Dual 1.8
2. PowerMac g4 450 (my first mac.. aww) I now use this as my server / test mac
3. PowerMac g4 450 - I picked it up recently cheap and set it up for my sister.
4. imac g3 500 - for mum. The problem is the video inverter died.
5. imac g3 450 - for mum to replace the dead one
6. image g3 266 with g3 500 upgrade card - for my little sister
7. Mac Classic II - picked it up for $15 dollars for St Vincent de Paul society
8. image g4 400 - Was the first mac I got for my sister, but recently sold it to a friend who had a good use for it.


I love my macs.
 
I've had 4 total. I bought my first right when OS X came out, a Blueberry G3 iMac. That didn't last long (too slow). A year ago I bought an 12" iBook G4, and a few months ago I bought a Mac mini and then a 17" PowerBook G4. More to follow, I hope!
 
I don't know if I posted this earlier, and I'm just too lazy to check.

I recently acquired a PowerBook Duo 230. Runs nice, but the batteries are shot. I found a place that makes batteries for this notebook, but for 60 bucks a battery I would rather hold off. The kids can use it to play some old games like Snood, Mac Tuberling, and others. :)

Would someone mind explaining to me the point of the Performa line? .. Being that they all seem to be the same as another mac series (Power Macintosh)?

And secondly, how/what exactly do you use a computer as your "server"? What is it serving?

The Performa range was a cheaper low end spec. Much like the iMac is now. In fact the performa 5200 was an all in one unit with stereo speakes and 15" monitor built in just like th iMac

What do you think a server is for?? I use my Mac Server as:
1. a file server
2. a mail server
3. a web server
4. a webdav server
5. a DCHP server

and so on......
 
Right...I guess I just don't understand why people need their own server for things..unless you're like running a business or something..

I don't get it.. mail server? mail.comcast.net
web server? for what?
file server? my hard drive??
 
Server - home use? Probably not... unless you enjoy the technology... Some do you know :)
As for me it's safe way of replicating what I have at work and I can break it to my hearts content; 'cos they don't get the importance of being able to 'learn' away from a live system.

Lots of parts (external serial hd's, etc ), lots of mulitples (don't even ask how many "classic" Macs I have in total, ugh), a few sundry clones (Outbound portable being the most notable), and all manner of misc items (anyone remember the MacCharlie ;) ). BTW, these are all systems I currrently have. Guess you could say I'm a bit of a packrat (my wife has a harsher term that I'll not repeat here).
 
too many, or not enough...
I was so impressed with my neighbor's Mac 512K that I went down to buy one the next day. When I brought it home, he complained because mine was different. I didn't know the difference at the time, but I had a Mac Plus.

Plus a few more odds and ends.
I used to think I had to have the latest and greatest but then realized
He who dies with the most Macs wins.

Actually, of all the Macs that have sat on my desk at home, I think the sweetest one of all is the G5 iMac 1.25. Apple got it right with that one.
Today, I'm wearing my black Apple turtleneck and blue jeans.
Is this an obsession? I confess, I'm guilty.
