... You'd rather use stacks of 4 7200s running SETI than table legs... because at $35 apiece for table legs... that don't do anything...

... You appreciate the heat that your SETI-7200s give off

...after you rescued your first systems you realize (by surfing apple-history.com and searching by processortype) that you own a 68000, 68020, 68030, 68LC040 and a 68040 and you start to feel 'lucky' :-)

thankye... I feel so blessed... though this house isn't made of 7200s... I certainly wish it was! (well it's an RV...)

... You would really like to see a 68k overclocked past 50 MHz

... You would overclock all of your macs except that you don't have spares.

... You need more monitors... (per computer)

... You need more video cards

...When you wonder how cory got 500+ posts in 1 month.
...When you see that you can have DSL on your Quadra.
...And yes it is at full speed.
...When You Use a Quadra as a monitor stand.
...When you have booted OS X on a LC monitor.
...When you have 10 extra ADB mice.
...When you use your 68k as a fax machine.
...When you hunt the web for 68k info.
...When you think the prokeyboard is to fragile.
...When you make an ethernet network between your 68k mac and your os x mac.
...When you know more about macs then your mac computer teacher
...When all of the above apply to you.

I'll think of more later.

when your AIM name is "MacIIcipower"

when your the only one in school who even knows how to work a mac CORRECTLY (ther than random games, and even then...)

when you can install an ancient OS on a new-world machene, just to prove a point (HA!!)

when you know the exact amount your 840AV can burn before it gives errors (it's 1 at 4X burning, 2 at 2X and one at 1X thank you; I have waaaay too many CDs and WAAAAAY too much time on my hands (and a good steady ethernet connection )

when you can read the macworld from november 1988 and know EXATLY what they are talking about (even if some of it is "coming soon")

you make your powerbook AA powered! (now for mac portable, powerbook 100, 1x0, duo in general, and soon, 3400 (if I ever get it to go again (hint hint >= )
