Good thinking Roy,

I started out in 1983 with a Commodore 128...  then an IBM PCjr I won  
in a raffle with our computer club.
In 1984 We went Mac 128 at Illinois Bell. Upgrading steadily over the  
years until 1996 when the Ameritech Corp decided to go with Gateway PCs.
The IT department went from 6 people to 20 after the changeover.  A  
huge mistake they are still paying for today.
My first Mac was purchased in 1989.  Since then I have accumulated 33  
Macintosh Computers.
Also a LISA 2, Apple II, Apple IIgs.

Most of the 33 Macs still work in OS 7.5.3 and the first three Mac  
128, 512, and 512Ke work with OS 4
My everyday Mac is a 1.6GHz G5 Tower with 4 GB of RAM running OS  
10.5.2 Leopard.
For my radio station I use a Blue & White G3 with 1GB RAM and the  
original 15 inch LCD display.
I just purchased QSO Wizard Pro for this G3 which is running 10.4.11  
Tiger.

I maintain a XP Pro network for our village.
The only PC I use is a DEC Starion 800i running Heavy Metal to feed my  
Model 20 with 6 level TTS Code.
