A few Macs, over a quarter century... My wife's Macs aren't "mine" so they aren't listed, but her list is pretty comparable (except for the secondary machines which are shared).
Main machines:
1981-1985 Apple ][+ Stolen.
1984-1985 128k Macintosh Stolen.
(...a long technological gap...)
1993-1995 PowerBook 180c"Paabu-chan" Died, gave guts to a friend.
1995-1997 PowerBook 550c"Gogo-chan" Upgraded CPU to Power PC, gave away to a friend.
1997- . . . . Power Mac 9600/300"Sunadori" Donated to my wife's office, where it still (2007) runs ancient peripherals.
1999-2003 Power Mac G4"Bol'janon" Sold to a used computer dealer.
2003-2006 iMac G4/800 17-Inch (Flat Panel)"Namegon" Gave to my wife, later sold.
2005- . . . . Power Mac G5 dual 2.7GHz"Kurita-kun" Still in service.
Secondary machines:
2000- . . . . iBook SE (Graphite)"Satsuki" Still sitting on a shelf somewhere "just in case" we need OS 9...
2002- . . . . iBook"White Doll" Gave to relatives in Tokyo so we can iChat. Still in service with them.
2003- . . . . PowerBook G4 12""Psyga" Still in service.
Non-computer machines:
1996- ???? Newton MessagePad 130 Bought used from a friend. (...but where did it go? Did I give it away?)
1997-1997 Newton MessagePad 2000 Gave to a friend in the US.
1997-1998 Newton MessagePad 2100 Sold to a friend in New Zealand.
Hey, that's a lotta Apple stuff! Are we making Steve happy or what?
1989: IIci--used for about 10 years and then gave away to a friend. If it had a CD drive we would probably have kept using it...
1992 or there-about: second-hand SE, I think. we used that for a few years and then sold it again
....Too many years of winblows....
2003: 12" PB G4-using it right now. Awesome machine, I really love it for the size and weight. Had all specs maxed when I purchased and since then upgraded to Dual-layer 8x DVD burner, etc. and 80 GB Harddrive. It's still going strong, although in the last year I've been starting to feel the processor under-power blues as some apps and stuff can't run on it, so prob. in a bit I'll get another one (maybe the "super-Mobile" that's coming soon) The size and form factor still get impressed comments even now...
2005: Brother buys 17" G4 PB. He was the one that got us to switch to Win in the first place--major Mac victory...
2006: Bought my mom a 17" C2Duo iMac (I use it a lot myself, too... ahem ). This is another home-run from Apple. The form factor and design are awesome, and the total silence of the computer is nothing short of completely amazing...
Next: Trying to converty my dad's main computer over from a Dell--the Dell is still fairly new so it might be a few years yet, but w/ him getting hooked on the iMac, it shouldn't be too difficult
The recent long lists make this list look rather inadequate, but here goes:
Macs:
- Mac Classic II 16Mhz 680?0 (1993-1994) - sold
- LC 630 + 14inch screen 40Mhz 68030 (1994-1996) - now with my grandmother
[96-99 - Hiatus for clone - see below]
- Blueberry iBook 300MHz G3 (1999?-2001) - now with my mother, but screen has gone completely red!
- Titanium PowerBook 400MHz G4 (2001-2005) - got dropped and replaced on insurance by my wife's below
- Aluminium PowerBook 15-inch 1.25GHz G4 (2004- ) - my main machine
- Aluminium PowerBook 12-inch 1.5Ghz G4 (2005- ) - my wife's machine (but borrowed for trips away)
Pre-Mac:
- BBC Micro B 128k (1981- ) - my parents still have this but haven't turned it on in at least 12 years!
Non-Apple Mac clone:
- Umax Apus 2000 160Mhz PPC (1996-1999?) - was given to small company I am director of and cremated when office burnt down in Edinburgh Cowgate fire in 2003(?)
Non-Mac Apple stuff:
- Stylewriter II (1993-?) - gave to my mother before it died
- Airport Base station (original flying saucer) - died
- Airport Express x 2 - still use
