Just had to post this article on one man's dedication to Macs...

OK, Parker, show this to your mom and I'm sure she'll let you go ahead with your collection...

WOW, that guy has some set up! He must have a school in his basement too with all those tables.

This is funny, on one of his really old Macs, I recognize on its screen a little program called "Diatom" which I have on the oldest Mac in my cellar. One of our kids installed it, its sort of like a spirograph.
Thats neat!
I wonder where this Soyburger guy lives? If he is anywhere near me, I should give him my old Macs, looks like he sure is good on the care and feeding.

oh man i wanna see this guy
he'd be like my new god!

If only my basement wasn't 13*12 and didn't have a big convertible couch and tv cabinet, and if only i wasn't still living in my mother's house.

She made me throw out a PowerMac 5260/120, but i managed to take out the motherboard which i can slide into my PowerMac 5400 if i wanted to.

I should start drawing plans for at least a cabinet which i could keep everything in.

Interesting display of all the classic Macs, but why in the world would anyone want to hold onto a bunch of stuff that collects dust and do much of nothing in comparison to today's Technology?

I always sell, or donate my Macs to a family that needs a computer, because I move forward, not holding onto the past.

Actually I do too, give them to the school and they use them or give them to a needy student.
But I do have 2 really old ones in the cellar that nobody wants.
So we just take them out once in a while and have fun with them.

Does he have guided tours?

He may not have "tours", but he does appear to have a LOT of time on his hands!
