Sounds like you're some sort of cyber messy with an unlimited bank roll.
No wonder you can't find every computer you own, under that pile, in your living room

Heh, I wish.

For most of those computers I either got at a really kickass deal (as in less than $50) or someone else bought them for me, or already had them and gave them to me. (Most of my friends know I'm a computer dork who actually collects old stuff, so they give me their old computers instead of tossing them out.)

If for some reason you feel like helping to add to my kickass collection of Macs, I'm looking for one of these:

Best I could do is some old HP 4 series laser printer heavy enough to use as a boat anchor

Macs do have style, don't they?

They sure do.

I'll probably wait until those iMacs fall to under $150-100 before I grab one though. It sucks being broke.

Apple sucks colossal nuts, always had. Their products are always designed with nothing but aesthetics in mind. The mac operating system is a backwards piece of work that blows ass. Also there is little point in purchasing a computer that can't play counter-strike. Hell, even linux can play counterstrike, and linux is free!

I built my computer from the ground up, only the finest hardware for me, bebbeh! Basically it's like this. If you can plug a power cord into the wall, you can build a computer. The majority of hardware installation is dealing with pci and molex. If you can grasp that you win.

I just got a new Mac (G-5) cuz my PC was always fucking up and more and more things didn't work right. And, I am sort of kind of weirdly in the movie trade and Macs are supposed to be better for editing. I've edited a lot on the PC and over the summer watched some editing on a Mac G-4 laptop and was damn impressed. Not only is the software better than Premiere, but it all went much faster too and not once did the computer freeze up or crash. It ALWAYS crashed when using Premiere on the PC.
Now I need to find me a copy of Final Cut Pro though...without spending the 500 bucks that they charge for it.
It does (the mac) seem to be designed for aesthetics...but it does work smoothly too.

Windows is a virus magnet, that's for sure. I've never had any problems with mine whatsoever, regarding any program crashing or whatever. Particularly on my computer where hijacked merchandise is king
