I'm a general geek, I collect old Macs, and I'm located in Tucson, AZ, USA. I'm currently running Mac OS X Tiger on my Mac and Linux Mint 8 (based on Ubuntu 9.10) with Linux kernel 2.6.31-19 generic on my laptop. My main hobbies are: electronics, computers, electronics, and collecting things.
I got started with Macs in 2007 when I was talking to a guy who was having a garage sale. He said he had a bunch of Macs, and asked if I wanted any. I left the sale with a 500 MHz iMac G3 and a Macintosh Plus with mouse and system disk, acquired for the lovely price of $0.
Since then, I have been collecting Macs at a fairly steady rate, to the point where I now have: my Macintosh Plus, still without a keyboard, a Macintosh SE (dual 800k), a Macintosh Classic, a broken Macintosh Portable (The Infamous Dead Battery Issue), and my main Mac, a Power Mac G4 Digital Audio 733 MHz. I upgraded both my SE and my Classic to 4 MB of RAM each (acquired through the LEM Swaplist, http://groups.google.com/group/lemswap), and they're both running System 6.0.8.
