Have you seen this thread? Since then, I've added an AMD Athlon XP 1600+ system with 21" FD Trinitron display to the mix and acquired a proper rack for the servers. I also have a nifty DEC Alpha that still needs some convincing to actually boot. -Andrew IP: Logged |

Ooooo, it's time for everybody's favorite game: "Spot the Apple employee"  That's quite the home collection W_A_G! Some of us don't work for the mothership so we have to make our collections sound big by including our "dumpster diving" treasures. Next to my two SE's, Classic and "dropped once too often by its previous owner" PB180 is a semi functional PowerCenter that requires the power to be turned on, off and on again before it will boot. I also have some serious hardware: IP: Logged |

I have an Apple G4 Titanium Powerbook, 500 Mz, loaded with 512 MB RAM, 30 GB drive, and airport card. Also a portable Smartdisk firewire CD burner, a CanoScan 1" thick scanner and an Epson digital camera. Real fun bundle, because I can now carry my whole web design studio in my Targus backpack when I need to travel! Gotta love "mobile computing"! A few months ago, I bought my Sweetie a new toy to upgrade from his G4 400 Mz desktop... a new G4 867 Mz Quicksilver, complete with Superdrive. He just loves it when his "geekette" buys him new toys -- I just love to joke that he is a "kept man" but he doens't mind, as long as the new tech-toys keep rolling in! <grin> ------------------ Proud member of ehMac, IP: Logged |

Just to prove I'm not, I'm going to push my & my wife's beds together p.s. Just to make this not completely off-topic: At home, 700MHz Athlon (WinME), 450MHz K6-2 (Linux), and 133MHz 5x86 (read "80486") (Linux). At school, a Sun server farm on the other side of an X-terminal. ------------------ IP: Logged |

Still on a 1.0Ghz Pentium 3 running Windows XP Professional, Corporate Edition. I did sell my iBook though. Part of me still mourns the loss of him, but I plan to replace him once I can afford it. Also have a little Palm m100 and a Creative Nomad 20GB Jukebox. ------------------ $ killall -SCREW `cat /var/run/guys.pid`; cd IP: Logged |

Runnin' with a trusty Pismo 400, Archaeopteryx, with a quarter-gig, 9.2.2, and 10.1.3. This week, however, I hope to place with Apple Ed an order for a shiny new TiBook. (For that one I'm leaning towards Hesperornis but am casting around for names of other Cretaceous birds....) Now, does an install of Win2KPro under VirtualPC count as a separate machine?

Pismo 400, 1 gig o Ram, OS X 10.1.3 AMD K6-3 450 w/ 192, running Debian 2.2r4 Firewall. Toshiba Satellite 505cs Pro or something, running debian "woody" with 24 megs of ram. Wireless Card + Ethernet card = wireless access point. Extra K6-2 equiped mboard lying around, waiting for me to do something with. Newest acquisition: PowerMac 9500 with busted power supply, will probably mod this full tower case I found in a junk yard and install it in it. I only paid for the Pismo, the rest are scrap parts i've snagged from friends. (Igor, the Toshiba, was given to me by a friend who found it when he was cleaning up his room..... along with 2 other laptops). ------------------ IP: Logged |

Ahem! *cough* cough* My first own computer was Gateway 333c: 333Mhz Celeron, 196 MB RAM, 20GB, DVD 4x, Zip100, Viper220 16MB and 17" E70 Then I brought laptop HP Pavlion 1220N that come with 6K 500Mhz, 96MB RAM, 10GB HD, CD-ROM 24x, and 13.4" monitor on it. I sold Gateway to my old good friend and brought HP 8705 from ebay.com for great deal. It come with 1Ghz PIII, 128 MB RAM, 60 GB, DVD 8x, CD-RW 4x8x32, and NVIDIA RIVA 32MB. I upgrade RAM up to 384MB, and change DVD 8x into 16x and running with 22" NEC monitor. Upgrade RAM was so pain! I also brought 100Zip USB and CD-RW Predator (firewire), both are external drives. Then I brought iBook in white model with 500Mhz G3, 128MB RAM, DVD, 12.1" monitor, and 10GB HD. It's heaven! It's make my life so easy! Now, I have sold HP desktop recently to strange through ebay.com and make lot of money. Now, it's only iBook and me... ------------------ IP: Logged |

haha Just had to grin at "Crappy compaqs" =) I use an RM PC here (because I'm in an educational establishment) and despite the bad things I've heard said about them by someone who's worked on them, it works for me (though I've never had to deal with hardware issues). Although, the machine next to me that I was reformatting (from 98) and installing 2000 Server on, had me really amused when the Windows 2000 installer completely locked up Windows every time I clicked Update or, I think, even Install; a BIOS that locked up about three times during the process of trying to set it to boot from the CD-ROM drive (a huge WTF? to that) (crashing both when running, and when trying to invoke its setup screen); and a reset button that fell inside the case... Now that was fun... - Uilleann IP: Logged |

Update: My main machine is still the same as last post. The old thinkpad is running Freedos, and I am looking for a C++ compiler I move on a couple of floppies... Recently built to PIII 950s (256 MB RAM): The network is currently a Windows workgroup and the linux stuff (the partiotion on my main machine and the little box don't talk yet... I've been too lazy to fool with SAMBA and such.) The windows workgroup is just file, print and connection sharring (for when we get cable (waiting for an old contract to run out with the old ISP, and the move first)). I also have two computers I have been picking the parts from to do repairs and such with (although the new two are completly new), I think I will resotre one of them to working condition if I get bored. ------------------ IP: Logged |
