[CUBE] [OT] Collectable computers (was: Would you believe 8 fans?!)

[Allan Hise]

I am going to forward this to my wife so I can prove once and for all that
I don't have too many computers.

iBook 700
Cube
SGI Indy RS4000-100
Power Mac 8500
Newton 2100
Mac IIsi
Homebrew Linux MP3 server
Homebrew Linux firewall

That about covers it.

I have nothing on y'all.
