This topic doesn't fit into any category, so i'm posting it here.

Steve Jobs obviously has an Apple Computer, but which one or ones and what are the specs of this computer and Accessories.

I think he has an iMac 2.4ghz
Also, i think he probably has a Canon Pixma Pro9500 Printer, Epson Scanner and at least 3 iPods.

What do you think?

I imagine he has several computers, not limited to a pimped out Mac Pro and a top of the line iMac.

And it wouldn't surprise me if the latter had a few hardware customizations unavailable to us.

Not until AFTER he read the many Rob threads on the matter. Then decided that such a idea HAS to be good if Rob hates it.

Four or so years ago his rig was a Dual 800Mhz G4 Power Mac, a PowerBook G4 667Mhz and an IBM Thinkpad.

I've seen him on the road with a MacBook Pro. Don't know what his home machine is.

He has an iBook for sure. Because the Macbooks and pros are out of his price range.

He's probably still using iLife 05, LOL @ HIM.

That's right, after all Apple only pays him a dollar a year.

Apple pays him a dollar a year, so actually, it took him about 400 years to save up for the iBook G3 that he now uses.

He's actually 527 years old.
