Well, BigBadWolf's is 19, olePigeon is 20, so...
21. you insist that the only true Apple logo is the one with six colors.
22. you've owned an Apple II before you got a Mac.
23. you insist on spelling any Apple IIs you've owned according to how the label appeared on the computer. (i.e. Apple ][, Apple ][ plus, Apple //e, Apple //c, Apple IIgs).
24. you've gone to at least one MacWorld keynote to bask in the glow of Steve Jobs' reality distortion field.

OK, let's get the numbering back on track:
Randman = 38 and 39
ScottiB= 40 and 41
TheWOAT = 42
osiris = 43
ort88 = 44
TheWOAT = 45 and 46
osiris = 47
Next one should be 48.
