I like to read the signatures which include hardware people are using. I though it would be interesting to see how people arrived their current configurations by listing all the Macs (and pc's) they have ever had. Put an asterix next to hardware you currently use. I have included any that my parents had when I lived at home.

In the begining...

128k Mac
Mac SE - 20MB External SCSI Drive
Mac IIcx
Mac ClassicII

During the dark ages......

Power Mac 6100
HP Pavillion
Power Mac 6500
* Dell something

The renaissance.....

* iMac DV G3 450 / 512MB / Airport / OSX 10.2
Airport Base
* iMac 17" / G4 800 / 768MB / OSX 10.3.2
* Unibrain Fire-i camera
* Logitech 2 button mouse
* Airport Xtreme Base
* iBook 12" / G4 800 / 640MB / Airport X / OSX 10.3.2

The future....

I'm happy with my current setup
Maybe in two years a dual G6

A lot of money spent on Apple so far. How much do people think they spent and will spend on Apple products?

As soon as the g5 breaks the 3ghz barrier, I plan on a dual one with 1-2 gb ram as a workstation. Hopefully also in another year or so I'll upgrade to a PB after they're G5 based for a few months.

We have a very large scale data mining / warehousing project on the horizon at work, and I'll either be buying 5-6 xServe (DP 2ghz G5) or 7-8 IBM JS20 blades (dual PPC970 1.6ghz), and at least 2 xServe RAIDs. Should also be able to net me a DP G5 as a workstation there, and possibly another PB for presentations. I also have to upgrade 2 other computers that unfortunately have to remain MSWIN based, so they'll probably be HP or Compaq on the AMD 64 chip.

Alot of money gonna be spent in the next year, thank god 90% isn't mine!

Never a palm - i hated graffiti on newton...
Many many PC husks and the detrius of upgrades

So, thats owned... well acquired too... but its been a fun ride going through supporting the vast majority of these products, not to mention taking most of them apart.

Dorn.

Wel, it looks as though I may be adding a Motorola StarMax 4000 to the fray. Once of the people in the Linux user group I'm in is giving it to me. And since he needed a PC to use as a gateway, I'm handing him my old PII-400 barebones as a swap. I'll be picking it up this coming Saturday.

Can't wait to fire up that Moto Mac. :D
 
Shall we all hum Wayne Newton/Willie Nelson's "To all the Mac's I've loved before?"

Or was it that Humperdink guy?
