Please don't think me greedy. I'm just attached to my Macs. I suspect I'm not alone: The more Mac computers I get, the harder it is to part with them. I no sooner pay for one than I buy another. And although I have sold a few over the years, lately I'm turning into a Mac miser. You know those little old ladies that the newspapers regularly write about that have 347 cats in their house? That's what I'm worried I may be like with my Macs. I have a dual processor G5 with dual monitors, a 15-in PowerBook, a 15-in MacBook Pro, a G5 20-inch iMac and - thanks to work - a new 17-inch MacBook Pro. There�s no way I can use them all. But it�s almost impossible to part with any of them. I, for sure, should sell the PowerBook and, twice now, have started to post it on eBay or Craig�s List, only to chicken out at the last minute. The new Intel MacBooks don�t work with my Verizon Broadband Access PC card. The PowerBook does. So, I tell myself, I may need it when I go on vacation in a few weeks in case the place where we�ll be staying doesn�t have Net access. Then there�s the new 15-in MBP. I bought it in March, only to be pleasantly surprised when, a month later, my employer suddenly provided me with a 17-in MBP. I should sell the 15-in. But, then again, that�s mine. What if work suddenly took back their 17-incher. And so the 15-in MBP sits in a carrycase. Just in case. I don�t really use the big G5 and the two monitor setup anymore either. But when it comes to listing them, I get queasy. It�d be like selling a child. Or getting rid of my dog. I can�t. i just can�t. The iMac is easy. I have given that to my wife. No way would she part with that. She�s now as hooked on Macs as I am. Still, I wonder�. how many Macs are too many Macs?
