You find a Powerbook 165 in your collection you did not know you had! [:I] ]'>

The confusion started a couple of years ago when I came to use the Powerbook, I found the 165 was actually a Powerbook 190cs, I thought I must have made a mistake and altered my collection list accordingly.

So imagine my surprise today when sorting out a cupboard stuffed with old bits I find the 165! [:)] ]'>

I wonder what else is here I don't know about!

... you find a Quadra 650 in your collection you didn't know you had.

... you have to move three trolleys of Macs to get to your workbench.

... you can't find the piece you need when you get there ... because it's BURIED IN MACS

You have to spend weeks to get your storage area to look like this.

And you have so damn much that you quit taking more things. Seriously, I must have a couple hundred spare hard/floppy/Zip/optical drives stuck in there, so unless it's either super-old (stepper-based/caddy-loading), quirky (Kalok, Kyocera/proprietary CDROMs), or super-new, I quit taking it. I had to strip some Macs in questionable cases down to their individual components (which I kept) because there is ZERO room in there for complete machines.

When you get threatened with eviction from others living in the same house.

...you go from asking where to look for 68k Macs to finding a 512k with it's original box.

...you find yourself with a roomful of Macs

You'll be reaching the eviction stage soon.
