I told you to be careful... Testing the waters puts you risks, and it sounds like you'll soon be in over your head. Your PowerPC collection should have been a glaring indicator this would have been a problem. Addiction is indeed a disease...
Yep - Bunn even surpassed people like myself, in terms of PowerPC Mac ownership. At the time, my 35-ish PPC Macs was the amount to beat. In fact, he has more computers in general than I do. I own almost 90, but I think he's gone past 100! If I had the accommodations, I'd have more machines, but I left the PPC craze in order to focus on upcoming college stuff and my realistic career interests (which do not involve computers).
By the time I'm out in the world, I'm assuming that every schmuck and his brother will be selling "rare" iMac G3s for $300, but if I could still get cheap PPC Macs by then, maybe I'd stockpile or something xD. But, my rule is success before indulgence. I'm not trying to blur my goals with PPC Mac fun. Didn't want to outright say that, but that's one of the reasons I left the PPC forums.
Bunn, however, is out in the world already. I could imagine the freedom he has in choosing what he wants. Meanwhile, I worry about school, space, and what my parents think. Career first, computers on the side. I figure that if the desire is REALLY needed, I can play with my Macs off to the side of whatever career I have. No sense in squandering my abilities with a sub-standard job. I'm glad for Bunn that he has other things on the side. Is it realistic to be worried at his intake of PPC Macs? xD Yes, Bunn. You're catchin' 'em all! However, if hoarding PPC Macs WAS his career, I'd be more worried myself. If one can balance hobbies and a career, that's just fine. I personally have already walked away from buying a bunch of PPC Macs, but shall I return to my hobby at full-force, it shall be after I have started a career.
Good lesson, indeed, for anyone my age who might be distracted with their hobbies. I am not anymore, but others are. Hobbies can become a crutch and sound more appealing than doing what one is actually passionate about. I'm passionate about design, so I'm pursuing that field, even though I have a passion for computers. Gotta set that stuff aside. I still can't understand WHY I like computers (which is kinda scary... I literally don't know why I get a sudden surge to have a classic Mac when I see one - even though this surge has been quelled a bit since my pushing the hobby aside and not making purchases), but I just do. Well, good thing the hobby will always be there for later on. Ruining the chances of having a career can be detrimental, and, as such, the chance likely cannot be re-obtained.
Hope someone maybe enjoyed my slight ramble here, from an 18 year-old mind - at 12:40 at night.
