Is there any mac loving kid out there (I am 12)?
Yes, that is why my macs are all at old or refurbished.

Your not alone. I have a whole collection of vintage ones at home!
iMac G3, G4 and even a G5 along with a Apple Messagepad!
I do have 2 more modern Intel Macs. One Mid 2011 i5 iMac and one 2008 Macbook Aluminium. Macs are just awesome are they not?
My wish list for my next vintage Macs:
Powerbook G4 (I would love one of these!)
iBook G3
Powermac G4,G5.
Those are the next ones I shal get when I have the money!
I cant help but think about how many I will have by the time I am 18+ :s ... But oh well, I dont care... i will always find room for them one place or another! XD

Location: in my own little tamarillo jungle,
now vintage models truly are awesome, the apple II especially.
as for the modern ones, they have their pro's and con's compared to pc's and linux.

I my self am a bit of a Power PC fan aswel. It made them feel more exclusive... The change was for the best I suppose.
I know its not a Mac, but I love my vintage Message Pad. Boxed and everything came with it (Even the stickers!). Found it for £15!

Nice finds!
Its final. I will get one sometime at the end of this year if I am able to afford it by then. Right now I am saving for a 15 inch MBP as my current MB is sorta half broken. I have a long list of catching up to do Apple buying wise!
I did forget to mention that I also have a iPod Classic 3rd Gen (The one with a black and white screen and 4 buttons below the screen) which I love!

Regular, looking on eBay at the moment and quite a few have come up! Exciting times! (I have been saving since November 2011)
But sadly, I am on holiday at the moment and cannot order one until I get back. I want to be there for when it gets delivered so I can make sure it works as quickly as possible. Im looking forward to getting it, it will be nice to have a faster laptop to do my iPhone coding projects on the go with! It will be a 2010 i5 one. I would get a newer 13 inch one with a Sandy Bridge i5 in, but I dont feel comfortable with not having dedicated graphics.
Also, something to add to my wishlist: NextStep computers! I must get one when I have the cash if I can find one cheap enough.

Cool! Don't forget to check the refurbished mac page on apple store website. I got a refurbished MBP from there and it came in brand new condition, plus it's apple CERTIFIED!
Yeah, I am looking on there too. I have seen quite a few for a little bit over what I can afford. Might be worth saving longer for. My experience with refurbished Macs is very good my current one is refurbished which has served me very very well.
