8xG4 Dual/Single , 6 G5 imac's 20" (PPC) , 1 24" imac, 4 G5 powermac , 2x 30" cinema displays, 3x23" cinema displays, 6x20" cinema displays, 1x titainum powerbook, 2x macbook, 2x macbookpro , 2x iphone, 1 old Xserve , 2 new xserve, 1 3.5tb xserve raid. Final Cut studio, misc Apple software+licenses. Numerous ipods, and newest purchase macbook air. Also applecare for all products purchased.

Those are all that I can think of for now that I've purchased from apple since 2000 most which are for business use. Majority of the ipods I've bought were mainly given to clients for Xmas and to a few employees as their bonus. I mainly use a macbook pro and have a G5 with one 30" display in my office.

I also have a bunch of old G3 powermacs that are pretty much worthless paperweights that are not in use anymore.

The last 2-3 years I think I spent the most ever especially with our Adobe software licenses, Xserve+Xserve RAID purchase which was close to 60k usd with all the service and support although next time I buy another Xserve product I will not purchase the OSX Server software support (almost 20k) which is a total ripoff.

These are just the Apple purchases we made, I think I've spent almost the same amount at dell for a few servers that came with or were needed with some other equipment that we got recently such as High Speed color copiers/Imaging, etc..

It's ridiculous how much one must spend in Software and Hardware in my line of business (Commercial Printing) although I must admit many of the apple purchases were voluntary, but those of you who love to have the latest and greatest knows how it is. I'm not really complaining since it is better to need more equipment than it is to go out of business like many print shops.
