Funny, my desk now has three computers on it:

An original (800k floppy) Mac/SE came from Apple with 1m RAM and a 20m HD,
upgraded to 4m with a 50m HD. 6.0.8 on the internal HD, a 2g HP external
drive and Apple 8x CD-ROM are added. The 2g drive has 7.5, 7.1 and 6.0.8
on it. I also have a SCSI ethernet  adapter for it, but it is currently MIA.

A PowerMac 7100/120. 64m RAM. Runs MacOS 9.1. Includes a 2g internal HD, and
8x CD-ROM drive and a SCSI HP 12x CD burner, 9g USB hard drive.

A Generic P4 2.6gHz, with 80m disk, 512m RAM, and a 16x DVD burner and 
52X CD burner. It also bears the "IBM 3145" nameplate, which has adorned
PC's of mine for over 20 years. :-)

Yes, I actually use all three of them.

I also have a B&W G3 running tiger which I would use if I could afford a
3 way USB keyboard/monitor switch.
