Mac addiction

[Snow White]

I have to admit that I bought my Sawtooth 400 new, my Cube 450 2 months 
old on ebay (the seller bought a new tower so that was almost like 
buying new) and my MDD Dual 1.25 is a refurb direct from Apple.

That's at least $4500 US in about 5 or 6 years.  Hey, I just give Apple 
a grand a year for hardware.  Adobe is another story.  And I dumped all 
the crap earlier than a G4 - don't get me wrong, when I find it I grab 
it, but I donate it to the Boy Scouts or a School or even someone that 
needs a decent internet computer (young or elderly mostly).  In my 
opinion pre G4 is just useless to me - I have to many now.

The real story in all this is Do You Support Apple, from time to time, 
with your purchases.  I do and I have had very few problems with these 
machines.  All in all I am happy with my choices so far.
