Let's list those apples!

Nothing that exciting, a couple of LCs, a couple of LC475s, a II, a IIsi. I've seen pictures of HUGE hoards of machines and it seems that since Steve's death some prices have been going stratospheric. Like insane thousands of dollars for Apple ][s and Lisas.

4 iMac's 24"/17"/21.5"/21.5"
1 MacBook Pro 13"
2 MacBook 13"
2 MacBook Air 11"/13"

1 iPad 3 w/Alesis IODock 2 w/3 Eventide H9
1 iPad 4 w/Zagg portfolio
1 iPad Air
1 iPad Air 2
1 iPad mini retina w/Zagg Prortfolio BT Keyboard & Pen
1 iPad Pro w/keyboard and pen
2 PowerMac
2 MacPro w/Protools w/Drobo & Drobo B800i iSCSI 16TB RAID 6 TimeMachine server & 12TB RAID6 NetReady
1 32" Cinema Display

2 AirPort Extreme

Since we're itemizing:

2 iMac G4 1GHz 15" (I'm typing this on one)
2 Power Mac G5 Quads
2 Power Mac G4 MDD (1.25GHz dual -- one with dual 1.8GHz CPUs)
2 Power Mac G4 Sawtooths (both 450MHz)
a whole bunch of PowerBook 1400s, one with a G3/466
2 Power Mac 7300, one with G4/800 and OrangePC board, the other with a G3/500
2 Power Mac 7100, one with G3/400
Power Mac 7600 in storage
Quadra 605 with full '040
LC475 with full '040
Color Classic with Mystic board
at least three IIci systems, one with DayStar 50MHz CPU, MacIvory and 8*24*GC
Quadra 800 with 40MHz clock chip
IIsi
SE/30 (plus some non-working ones in storage)
Mac Plus (as well as at least one non-working one)
IIgs
III (no idea if it still works)
two iBook G4/1.33 systems plus some other donor ones
two TiBooks, one 867MHz and one 1GHz
PowerBook 540c
PowerBook 2300c
3 eMates
Newton MessagePad 2100
two Mac Portables, but only one in working order
Apple Network Server 500 and 700
iMac G3 (strawberry and snow, the strawberry has a Sonnet HARMONi)
2 Twentieth Anniversary Mac, one with G3/500
2 Apple Interactive TV Boxes (one actually works, with prototype ROMs)

There's probably some others I forgot.
One of the IIcis and the Q605 both run NetBSD, and the Q800 runs A/UX.

Boring Apple iOS and Intel stuff:
iPhone 2G, 3G, 3GS (plus a 5S and iPad 2 which are work-issued)
Mac mini C2D
2014 MBA with i7 upgrade

I have:

Mac Mini (PowerPC 1.42GHz, 1GB RAM, MacOS X 10.5) - system in storage, was my media centre machine until last year.
Mac Mini (Core 2 Duo 1.66GHz, 4GB RAM, MacOS X 10.5 and Windows XP) - system in daily use.

That's it...

I've sometimes thought about buying a newer one, but to be honest Apple's recent obsession with glueing and soldering everything down puts me off.

Posting this from my 13" MacBook Pro, model "early 2011". I upgraded the RAM and replaced the disk with an SSD and it still works just fine for me.

I did forget a few. Two 12" AlBooks, a 17" DLSD PowerBook G4, two G4 minis and a 9600.

Let's see:

Power Mac G4 (MDD, 1.25GHz)
PowerBook G4 (Aluminum, 15", 1.5GHz)
PowerBook G4 (Titanium, 1GHz)
No-name PPC Mac clone
Performa 631CD
Centris 610
SE/30

Everything is running an appropriate version of Classic Mac OS except the AlBook, which is running Debian, and the SE/30, which I still need to do an install on. I've also got a Quadra 840AV lined up, I'm just waiting for the seller to find the time to pack it up and send it off...

Watch out with the 840av, those are also subject to extensive corrosion from leaking SMD electrolytics.
(Like everything Apple introduced between 1987 and 1993)

Yep. It's known-good from a seller I trust, but I might look at getting it re-capped anyway.

Apple joined the fun-lab with two mcdonald's G3-books, Minerva & Alice , and since then, heat sinks & portable heaters become the last frontier in cyberpunk stories with guinea pigs for my wicked hack experiments; mutation (Alice) and evolution (Minerva), they come into two branches, where hacks override their digital-DNA (aka Forth OpenFirmware, thank you Apple): it doesn't mean they are doorstop now, even if they no longer power-on with macOSX

I owned an LC475, hacked to be a 68060 gentoo/m68k machine
mac OS 7.5 did no longer power-on, due to the fact I re-programmed the 4 ROMs
because 68060 needs a special support pack in its early bootstrap

that machine was then swapped for a RiscPC/600 machine
that is more useful for my 332 development

A/UX on a good 68K machine is still on my wish list
still tempted even if it will probably never happen (it has no real purpose)

I've got a few at home:

PowerBook 540c that a previous owner upgraded to a PPC proc (System 7.5 IIRC - watch it boot at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqgZujtQ0T4 )
G3 iBook in Teal (OS 9)
G4 Quicksilver (800MHz, 1.5GB RAM, OS 9.2, OS X 10.1, OS X 10.4, Ubuntu 12.04)
G5 PowerMac (Quad G5, 16GB RAM, OS X 10.5)
MacBook Pro 1,1 (2GB RAM, OS X 10.6)
MacBook (2008 model? C2D, 4.5GB RAM, OS X 10.7)

Too bad we couldn't see the actual Happy Mac (is it black and white bitmap, or greyscale)?

But, great cat butt pr0n!

Here's the older stuff...
Apple:
-IIc
-IIgs
-IIe or II+ or something like that, CPM card, but unknown condition

Macintosh:
-Centris 610, full 68040, just recapped - but bad video memory, recapped slot load cd, centris 660av cover (donor had bad caps or something in the audio, and possibly other issues, but cover wasn't broken like the 610 cover). So it might be on it's way to the recyclers.
-Quadra 700
-Workgroup Server 6150, 66 MHz 601 (6100/66 basically), decapped, waiting for me to finish recapping.
-G3 blue and white, forgot the specs
-G4 took it for free, forgot the specs

I don't remember actually seeing the Happy Mac on that one. I'll have to dig it out and take a look for you.

And Friskie was very proud of her butt. And having it in the middle of everything.

Yes, my cat is also very butt proud.

I forgot. I have a WGS 9150 too.

Ah, convenient timing for a mac post. Me and a buddy picked up 5 mac se computers from a scrap center this past week. Still trying to get one to boot up. Those two floppy drives are slower than dirt. All the hard drives were failing, except for one, which happily booted and then failed 5 minutes later.

There is something picky about the mac formatter or installer, it will not work with non apple drives, so getting a working install onto one of the many scsi disks i have is not working.

There's a patched HDSC Setup floating around that will format non-Apple HDs.

Yeah, that is what I am looking for. Ive run into a bunch of sites giving you patching tools and a list of addresses to change to patch it yourself, it seems like a headache. I just want the darn patched utility. On top of that, until i get the drive working, im running off only 2 800k floppys. Space is limited, everything is in some compressed sit format, which seems like a good idea, but the extraction software is another program i have to put on the disk taking up precious space. I'm running out of floppy disk space just trying to get a minimal base system with the tools and utilities needed to set up a scsi disk.

I found a bunch of maxtor hard drives at the scrapyard today, I might see if any of those are usable and try to get a working hard drive install done tonight.
