This is an real pic of part of my collection. yes some of the macs are wrapped in old t-shirts to protect them.
Why the huge collection you ask?
Well the question that everyone that knows me or who is viewing this page, is why such a vast collection of vintage mac stuff. Its not cause im crazy or anything like that. Its seems its all started back when i was 14-15 years old. it started with me looking at garage sales, goodwills and local auctions around this area. i cant remember the 1st mac i ever got but i think it was a mac plus or a centris 610.to be honest i don't really remember. i do know that the 1st newer mac i ever had was a 233mhz bondi orginal imac with 64mb ram!!before that i was using a powermac 6100/60 for my everyday machine.
every since then i have been collecting macs and my collection seems to have grown more and more over the years. when i lived at home the collection was kept down to a small amount due to my parents complaining about the mess. once i moved out of their house i moved in with a friend and the collection grew a little bit more. after that i moved to an apratment by myself and then i began adding more and more macs till i had most of a 2nd bedroom in a smaller apartment full of mac stuff. once i moved into my townhouse which wasn't too long ago i began getting more stuff once again. i have now managed to fill up an entire extra bedroom and extra bathroom and also part of the garage in the front. I have some kind of weird addiction to collecting vintage mac stuff, its like i know i don't really need anymore stuff but at the same time i can't seem to be able to stop buying more stuff. i really need to go and evaluate the machines and my collection and maybe thin out the lot a bit. but i fear that i have got the mac bug and will be collecting for the rest of my life. they will have to bury me with a mac plus or something :)
