So, if I count correctly, that gives me:

2 68K Macs
42 PowerPC Macs
3 Intel Macs
:eek: ...and these don't include your PC collection?

As a PharmD working in a psych hospital, I deal with a lot of people suffering from various addictions, but I particularly deal with substance use disorders- "heroin junkies, meth heads, stoners, boozers" - every drug, every level of severity.

I'm telling you as a friend, you have a problem. :p

1. Do you lose time from work due to Apple Computers?
2. Are Apple Computers making your home life unhappy?
3. Do you use Apple Computers because you are shy with other people?
4. Are Apple Computers affecting your reputation?
5. Have you ever felt remorse after buying/using Apple Computers?
6. Have you gotten into financial difficulties as a result of your Apple Computers?
7. Do you turn to lower companions and an inferior environment when using Apple Computers?
8. Does Apple Computer use make you careless of your family’s welfare?
9. Has your ambition decreased since finding Apple Computers?
10. Do you crave Apple Computers at a definite time daily?
11. Do you want to buy/use Apple Computers the next morning?
12. Does your Apple Computer use cause you to have difficulties in sleeping?
13. Has your efficiency decreased since using Apple Computers?
14. Is your Apple Computers use jeopardizing your job or business?
15. Do you buy/use Apple Computers to escape from worries or troubles?
16. Do you use Apple Computers alone?
17. Have you ever had a complete loss of memory? ;)
18. Has your physician ever treated you for Apple Computer use?
19. Do you drink or use/buy Apple Computers your self-confidence?
20. Have you ever been in a hospital or institution on account of Apple Computers?

If you answered “yes” to 3 questions, it suggests you probably have an Apple Computer problem. If you answered “yes” to 4-7 questions, it suggests you may be in an early stage of macoholism. If you answered “yes” to 7-10 questions, it suggests you may be in the second stage of macoholism. If you answered “yes” to more than 10 questions, it suggests you may be in end-stage macoholism.

It's not a problem. I can quit at any time. Seriously, I could just walk away from it and quit cold turkey. I don't have a problem. I swear, I really don't have a problem. :):)

I keep telling myself that. I keep saying I'm "going to get rid of all the extra Macs in my basement," yet I never seem to - and I seem to continue acquiring more... :eek:

Here's a list-not to brag but just because it's the only way I know to really answer the question. Unless otherwise noted, all listed computers are working:

68K:
Macintosh SE
Quadra 700

"Beige" PowerMacintoshes
7100
8500
233mhz G3 desktop
266mhz G3 desktop, with 400mhz processor out of a B&W overclocked to 462mhz(stable)

iMacs:

"Bondi Blue" Tray Loader(doesn't work)
Indigo slot loader
1.25ghz G4

iBooks:

366mhz Indigo Clamshell
800mhz G3 14"
1.07ghz 12" (on the way, and needs some work)
1.2ghz 12"

Powerbooks:

500mhz Pismo G3
867mhz Ti
1ghz Ti running 10.5
1ghz Ti running OS 9
1.5ghz 12"
1.5ghz 12" with mSATA SSD
A1138 DLSD 15"
A1139 DLSD 17"
(I have mSATAs in both the DLSDs also)

G3 Tower:

300mhz B&W
400mhz B&W
400mhz B&W upgraded to a 450mhz G4 and with a Radeon 9200

"Graphite" G4 Towers
450mhz Sawtooth
Dual 500mhz GigE
2x Digital Audio 533mhz

Quicksilvers:

Dual 800mhz
Dual 1ghz QS 2002
QS 2002-originally 800mhz, upgraded to a factory dual 1ghz for a while, now with a Gigadesigns Dual 1.8 running a 1.6ghz
Another QS tower assembled from spare parts, currently with no processor although it boots that I'm going to do something with one of these days

MDD:

Dual 867 FW400
Dual 1ghz FW400
2x Single 1.25 MDD2003
Single 1ghz FW800

I only have three working PSUs between the above, but all will boot with a working PSU installed. I also have a couple of other MDDs for parts.

G4 Cube
450mhz running OS X 10.4 only, and now with a Radeon 7500
450mhz running 10.4, 10.5, and OS 9
500mhz(on the way)

G5:
Single 1.8ghz, with GEForce 6800 Ultra and 6gb RAM
Dual Core 2.0ghz, 10gb RAM(work computer)
Xserve Dual 2.0ghz, 4gb RAM from the factory.

700mhz EMac

Intel:

Late 2007 Black Macbook
Mid 2009 pre-Unibody White Macbook(my Yosemite test platform)
Late 2011 13" Macbook Pro(my first Mac, bought new from the Apple Store in the Spring of 2012, and probably still my main computer)

The ones listed in bold above are the ones that get used on a daily or almost daily basis, although I do actually use the Intel Macbooks a fair bit(for example, I had the UK Basketball game streaming on my black Macbook while I was doing other work this evening). Both the Macbooks have SSDs and are actually quite peppy.

So, if I count correctly, that gives me:

2 68K Macs
42 PowerPC Macs
3 Intel Macs

And, if we break PowerPCs down by processors(including dual processors) that gives me

1 601
1 604
9 750s(G3s)
32 7400 series processors(I'm too lazy to break it down by specific processor numbers)
3 970s(G5s)
1 970FX(dual core G5)

The 2.0 dual core is easily my most powerful PPC.

what MDD parts do you have?
