How Many Apple Products Do You Own?

[Bremen]

Big apple fan here .... iMac, MacBook pro, 2 iPhones, 2 iPod touches, 2 iPod classics and 2 nanos in our household currently. Many older versions/products sold on. So that's 10 in total.

Looking forward to getting an iPad in the next 2-4 weeks depending on Irish launch date

I have always appreciated Apple products. I used ipad

I am somewhat late to the Apple party. I have an iPad 16GB (wifi) that I bought about a month ago, an iPhone 3G 8GB that I've had for about a year, and a 2nd gen iPod Nano (which has been handed down to my husband as his portable music player). For years I've sworn off buying an Apple-branded computer for the home, but husband and I are so frustrated with our year-old Dell laptop running Vista (that OS is a total p.o.s.) that we've sworn that our next computer will be a Mac.

My wife and I both have a Nano. I have the iPad. I have a work provided Mac Pro in the office and a Macbook Pro as my company laptop. I was so enamored with the Mac Pro, I bought one for home, too.

I own several, but it's not entirely by choice. I would buy Microsoft if they only offered something of similar value.

50 or maybe 70 COMPUTERS...need to recount! Looooooooong time user.

I have purchased over 50 (gosh maybe over 70) Mac computers since 2 days after the very first Macintosh was advertised in 1984 at the Superbowl Game! I gotta check out the basement and receipts and spend a day or 2 counting) And I have purchased just about every time capsule, iPod, Nano, Airport, TV,... every item times 5-10x. Really too too many to enumerate.
I am a bit slow (or read too fast) and did not realize you were asking for # of PRODUCTS rather than COMPUTERS!. The only Mac/Apple items in recent history I did not get are the Newton and the iTouch.

I put my husband thru medical school and looooooooooooong residency program a million years ago by designing personalized software systems for the big IBM360/70 main frames that took up whole floors of air conditioned buildings in Wall Street, Los Angeles, and Washington.

I was so amazed and thrilled , and still am, with the ability of Apple to get so much into such a small user friendly machine, be it computer, iPod, iPad. My children growing up had either Macintosh, Mackintosh 512kK, Macintosh XL; Macintosh Plus; Macintosh SE, Macintosh LC Macintosh Classic, Powerbook 100 and 140 and 170. Apple II and SE . (Great period of time when there was no internet except Source for them to wander out into cyberspace unescorted. Source was a pain to use as it was.) I had Performas (not so good)Powerbook Du0230, Macintosh Quadra,G4 Cube, iMacG4, iBook, eMac, Mac mini...

The more I write from this MacBook Pro, the more I remember and the more I know I am boring you all. But I have touched and bought nearly everything else including an Apple laser printer and who knows how many different airport gadgets. And my favorite items of all have been my iPhones and the Mobileme aspect of being able to update all calendars and contacts nearly instantly. A real life saver!

Since Apple went public, I bought 1 Apple stock with each purchase of a computer and gave the stock to the child (trying to teach about stocks and computers at same time) or person getting the new computer; and they have held on to stock even when it was worthless. It ain't worthless any more! As it turns out that was a very good thing! Keeps me in Macs!

But that is an aside to my love affair with the Apple.

I believe in them because what they did for our living, our schools, and our children by making an affordable, incredible, user friendly computer.

Maybe it was all the years of struggling with the IBM360/70 and even the JCL needed to get it rolling, that I appreciated the simplicity and the genius of the Macintosh.

Jobs made a bad marketing/business decision way back when, by not sharing his platform. And he is making a similar mistake dissing Flash without providing us an alternative that can enable us to view the flash originating news videos etc. He is going to have to address this problem with a viable solution that does not involve hard pressed businesses to invest in more "stuff"

I hope Jobs does it soon, because this anti flash campaign is not working well for many who could equally be his supporters and purchasing his amazing products. Never a good thing to burn bridges like he is doing. Never know when you need that bridge for your own use.

Here's to 100s more Mac products in my family's household due to this Apple Grammie! (who is back to being a newbie because of all the techinical changes)

It is hard to keep up with technology (my friends know squat about computers) so I depend on forums like this to help me learn more to make full use my of new and beloved 64GB-wifi-3G iPad with 6 cases! (sorry, a lady likes a change of clothes!)

i already watched documentary movie of your story ,,, i think someday u need a place like Macintosh Family Museum or something to preserve and show the macintosh spirit to the others.

i always love a lady whom she has husband and children and she is writing something with her gadget from kitchen. it looks so meaningfull to me. i think that is the family should be.

Oh gads..I really went on and on.. Sorry..I should have never reacted to the poll. Our basement is that museum..albeit a very messy museum. Actually, some of the old models could be worth some big$$ (maybe)

But don't spin the sexist thing : > and have the little lady in the kitchen using computers for recipes. I will refrain from going into another litany of computer consulting firms for whom I and other women worked or ran.

But I am proud to say that women from the computer world and on line commerce are out of the kitchen and running for Governor of California and Senator of California in November. ( and I bet they both win!)
But these are women who didn't post rambling nonsense on an, iPad forum like I did.

Not all little old ladies with computer skills are planted permanently in the kitchen! Never was, never will be. But some can ramble too much about nothing like I have done!

I think u must invite me to visit the little messy (but awesome) museum of mac. and the third sequel of nicolas cage's national treasure should be in your basement.

i think the opinion about spinning sexist thing is completely happening nowadays. the reality says a big yes for it.

BTW, evrything here is so different with your situation in there. if u know Bali u can imagine how the woman playing a role in a daily life. I live in near Bali, Indonesia.

moderator, sorry for OOT things

I now own an embarrassing number of Apple products...

I'm not a Mac fanboi..or at least didn't start that way. I've built windows and linux machines for 2 decades. Apple got me with little stuff, first a Shuffle for running, than a 5th gen iPod, then a 2nd gen Shuffle, an iPhone, and now the iPad and a MacBook that my business partner decided to buy me. The stuff just reeks of quality.
