12" iBook G4 1.33 GHz - My workhorse. I use this for everything;web surfing, chatting, email, documents, games, music, audio/video editing, etc. It's still going strong and I don't plan to replace it anytime soon.
12" iBook G3 800 MHz - Basically my backup Mac, but I often use it in lieu of my G4 for web surfing, chatting, and music. It hardly works these days though, and it's slated for replacement next summer, which then I give it to my sister.

I hope to eventually upgade my 233 MHz iMac G3 and use it for a jukebox and a storage device. I also plan to get my iBook G3 300 Mhz clamshell back from loan soon, and use it for word processing.
 
I am currently in the process of reducing the number of Macs that I use on a daily basis. It used to be over 15 including some that I used for SETI.

Since that time, I've eliminated the SETI computers except one. It's being used as a flight simulator.

I've put the following into mothballs (storage):
- PowerBook 170
- TAM

I still have a long ways to go. And now that I consider the task at hand, I really don't want to think about it right now. :(
 
I use one Mac, a MacBook Pro. I would like a second machine used primarily for downloading torrents and the like.

I am contemplating selling the MBP for a new MacBook - the reason I went from the MB to MBP was that I hated the finish on the MB - the plastic seemed cheap and nasty. The black one seems a lot better quality wise IMO.

I'm pretty confident the new MB's will be aluminium.
 
Three to be precise. If it could be otherwise.

- iBook 12" G4 1GHz with 1.25 GB RAM as a Server for shared documents and other not that hefty stuff - it has only 100Mbit ethernet

- iMac 20" C2D 2GHz with 4 GB RAM as main workhorse for surfing, video and photo manipulation, writing and film watching (as it has the biggest display)

- MacBook C2D 2.4GHz with 4GB RAM as my machine on the road for writing (library and so forth), photo manipulation and some sort of video editing/capturing, surfing too
 
Mac Pro at home for general stuff and working from home, PowerBook G4 for out and about for work. Although hopefully the PowerBook G4 will be replaced this coming few weeks. :)
 
I have the Graphite G4 as my daily driver, and I tinker with my IIci and PB 170 on a pretty regular basis. Hopefully I'll be getting a MacBook or MBP soon to replace my aging G4.
 
Unfortunately my 17" iMac Core Duo is just too slow and small for regular use. I'm using my PC with a Core 2 Quad and 8GB of RAM instead. :eek:
 
One -- an antique pB 1.33ghz w/1.5gb from Oct 2003.

Running MS Office is my Vista Ultimate HP PC. Haven't figured out Publisher, though, so I feed files into Pages after saving to a thumb drive.
