[QUOTE="Amen-Moses, post: 4193, member: 114"] Systems plural. ;) I have a P3-500 Linux router (now getting a bit long in the tooth), an Acorn Risc-PC even longer in the tooth but over ten years old and never gone wrong, 2 2 year old XP-2000 systems that have also never gone wrong (apart from the OS of course - Win98-SE, possibly the most unstable OS ever created), an IBM Laptop (7 years old and still going strong since given a new lease of life courtesy of Linux) and now a beautiful iMac dome-bot 1Ghz G4 17" flat panel. I have been long mourning the passing of Acorn (ooh, I forgot the A3000 system upstairs, 15 years old and still working fine although it is on it's second SCSI HD) and when I bought the iMac (was it really only 3 weeks ago) I found an ample replacement for my loss. Honestly the only thing that ever kept me away from Apple was the price, they always seemed overpriced for the spec but with the switch away from SCSI and the unix basis of OSX (plus the addition of the SuperDrive) I ran out of excuses not to switch. I also have a fully working Phillips CDI, several Nintendo's, several Sega consoles, 3 Playstations (one a Plus One) and a PS2. You can play several video games at once in every room in my house if you so wished! ;) Would I qualify as a "cutting edge geek" I wonder? My ambition is to one day open a museum (somewhere in the attic I have an original boxed Atari, a Sinclair Spectrum and possibly even a XZ81 (prolly in the same box as the BetaMax and V2000 VCR's and the Laser Disc system), I just wish I hadn't sold the QL!).
