Seeing enough set ups...2 or sometime even 3...!!!

What's the reason for it...Work? Great Deals? Rich Bank Accouts?

It's getting to me...I know I can't set my current Mac Mini/ViewSonic...I'm now thinking of getting/adding the new Intel iMac's...just the 17"

I like two setups because sometimes I am always changing something around and it's nice to have a working mac all the time. Plus it's not like it's buying two of a car that costs $20,000 it's sometimes just a $500 mini! Sometimes I just can't help myself too, and buy something silly because of how it looks but meh, it's not harming anybody in the end.

Besides, imagine if you needed to do something needing a lot of cpu you could leave it running on one mac and return to your spare, or share with friends when they visit to help sell them on macs!

I use 1 x iMac and 1 x iBook. I guess this is more 'logical' to the everyday person, as I use the iMac at home, and the iBook when i'm not at home. Its also cool because, as AmzicArmat says he does, I can set my iMac to do somehting really CPU intensive, and suft the net and msn etc on my iBook. Saying this, I have yet to do something on my Core Duo that slows it down enough not to be able to use it!!
iMac Core Duo 1.83 Ghz | 1.25GB RAM | 160HD, MacBook Core Duo 1.83 Ghz | 13.3" | 60HD | 1.0GB RAM

that is exactly my combo. and there is one thing the ibook can do that the imac can't -- it's difficult to lug an imac into the bathroom with you to let you surf the net while on the can
