my collection :)

I'm thinking of getting a 17" PowerBook. I think it would augment my collection nicely 
I'm trying to decide between the 12" & the 17", but I don't think I'll waste the opportunity and just get the 17"
I also wanted to add the old & new iMac to my collection, plus a Lisa, a G5 and maybe a IIgs

I just added a real sweet Apple Server 500 to my collection. It won't run the MacOS though so it will be a bit challenging to get it up and running and integrated into the network.
As for Pbooks, I'd love to have the 12" for the fantastic portability. If only Steve would deliver us the Newton 2!

The room is ready...
I've had my collection on the floor of the dining room, under a tarp for 7 months since we moved into this new house. The basement computer room has just been finished and I've started moving machines in there...

Some of you guys have quite big collections! I've only got an iBook and an LC III
Technically, the iBook isn't mine anymore, I've sold it online but haven't got around to couriering it off yet. But on the plus side, I've bought myself a Power Mac G4, and I'll have to go with tradition and take photos of opening the box and setting it up

Wow. I'm quite impressed at the collections I've seen on this thread. mactarkus, you have quite the room indeed, I imagine the indentations your shelves leave on the carpet are permenant indeed. Anyway, I'm new to the boards here, and thought I'd throw out my paltry collection...
Mac Plus (the entire portable bag kit)
Mac Classic
Mac SE/30
Mac LC550
Mac Quadra 840av, 14"av, adj. keyboard
Mac UnderPerforma 6200 & 6360tv
PB 145b
PB 1400c w/Sonnet G3 card
Select 300 LaserWriter
There's a couple more in there I think. The only clame to fame, really, is that they're all in as close to perfect condition as they can be for 'elderly' computers. I'll post a pic when I can. Good to meet you all.

Yes indeed they are Sonic X dolls I got them in September as a gift for my Birthday. My brother got them from a Comic Books store in the Mall called "Zap Comics" or something like that. Check around at comic stores or similar places. They are so cool I have Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles. Also check eBay
Sonic Rules!!

*off topic* yeah the show is good, I like the animation but the voices could have been better. Eggman is good but Sonic sounds funny. Should have gotten the voices from Sonic Adventure 1 and 2. I plan to get Sonic Heros
I'm a Sonic nut, basically. If you want to see Sonic X, download a couple of subtitled Japanese episodes. Trust me, they're far better than anything you'll see on US TV.
Anywho, I got mine from http://www.ufocatcher.net.

Yeah the new products are amazing! I love the box, I kept it
I can't seem to throw away anything...loloh my........
I just switched about 3 months ago , I'm only 14 but I've already made plans for a collection of macs......... I have a 17" iMac, and i just got a blueberry iBook about a week ago (bought on ebay of course). I want to get a g3 b&w powermac next, then a cube, then i'm saving up for a dual 1.25 ghz powermac g4 with a 20 " display- im hoping to get all these before next new year's. After all these I'll be saving for a dual g5 (hopefully 3 ghz, by the time i get enough money) with 2 gb of ram and a 23" screen. I feel this will be a good start at my collection . I'll post a pic of my iMac and iBook as soon as i get a new camera.....which may be awhile since im buying an isight pretty soon. Anyways, just wanted to say i think apple is awesome, and steve jobs is way cooler then bill gates .

I actually kept my eMac box in my room and used it as a nightstand of sorts for a while. It's so nice looking--I put a lamp on it and everything.
I have both of my PowerBook boxes, I especially love the new black and silver box that my PowerBook G4 came in, it's really sharp, not to mention the new Panther box with the silver brushed metal X against the black background and Mac OS X Panther on the side.
I have a MP 2100 (Beautiful machine, I use it daily... in fact I just got the audio dongle that I bought in the mail today,) Mac SE, PowerBook Pismo 400, G4 450, PowerMac 7100, Laserwriter Pro, ImageWriter, and a iMac DV SE... For those of you that have Newton MP's I would suggest you sign up at http://www.newtontalk.net (In digest mode unless you want your inbox flooded with email,) and you check out http://www.thisoldnewt.com ... don't forget the newton FAQ.. i forget the URL, but google 'Newton FAQ' and you're sure to find it.... Those of you that don't have a Newton MP, do yourself a favour and go buy a 2100 or a 2000 off ebay of from J&K Sales (http://www.jksalesinc.com) And remember, Ink Different.
