How Addicted to Apple are You?

I essentially buy anything Apple puts out, although this does not stretch to one of every model computer! I do have a G5 with aluminium 23" Apple Cinema Display, new model Bluetooth keyboard, Bluetooth Mighty Mouse, an iBook and a G3 iMac. I've got one of each of the 4 classes of latest iPods, I've got Apple TV. I gave up a Linksys wireless modem/router to get the Airport Extreme 11.n base station. I've even got 2 La Cie external drives (part-owned by Apple, I believe). I have the original iSight camera. I've also got accessories such as Nano lanyard headphones, in-ear headphones, radio remote, 3 universal docks, etc. I love it! I feel that Apple solves problems with their products, so I'd rather have theirs than some other brand's.

To clarify the obvious omission of the iPhone: I live in Australia and therefore can't buy one. I'm unwilling to buy a modified phone. I'm waiting for an official release.

Did you buy iPod Socks?

I first used an Apple ][+ in 1980 as a summer student. I bought my first Apple in grad school in 1982...$2500 for an Apple //e, 2 floppy drives and Zenith monochrome display (green of course). Since then my wife and I have owned a total of 16 Macs, and just about every accessory known to Apple...... and I do have the ipod socks and I am using one for my new cell phone (no iphone in Canada).

I eschewed the socks as an oddity.

I also came in on the Apple ][+, in 1983 at high school. I bought my first computer, an Apple //c with the razor-sharp 9" Apple CRT monitor, in 1985. Since then I came up through the ranks of Apple //e, Apple //GS and then Macintosh, starting with a PowerBook 140, then a IIsi, then a 2nd-Gen G3 iMac and finally to my current-day collection.
