I'm definitely addicted. I've got at least 60-70 Mac's, half a dozen Powerbooks, several Atari's and Amiga's, two Sun workstations, probably a dozen and a half PC's and an Apple IIgs... Many other strange machines as well, I've never actually counted... The monitors and all-in-ones are the biggest pain, they take up too much room.
But as long as I have room for them (don't ask my wife or kids!) and it doesn't cost too much money, them I'm laughing. It's a relatively cheap hobby (compared to my cars or stereo/home theater interests) and I love many of these old Mac's. My main interest lately has been a 840av that I traded for a 5200. I've got it running with 128MB RAM, 4 GB 7200rpm drive and hopefully very soon I will have a Spigot Pro AV for it... I also just picked up an old Colecovision and a dozen games at a garage sale!! Everyone I know thinks I'm insane. Oh well, I'm quite used to that...
