What is your largest quantity of Macs (any kind/mix or match) delivered? No, I don't want a poll 
Just took delivery of 3 pallets of MacBook Pros: 15", 2.4Ghz, 2GB memory and 7200rpm 160GB drives.
95 in total Now, time to unbox and setup. Going to be a great weekend!

They are still on pallets. Only have 1 out right now, making an image...
Dual Boot and Parallels (using it's own installation). Don't ask, not my choice. Parallels using the boot camp partition still has some bugs...don't want 95 users pissed off
I work in the educational world. Higher Ed.
I hope to take some photos once they are off the pallets. It won't be me doing that, so I may miss photos of that. But I should have all 94 (already unboxed 1) lined up or stacked in original Apple boxes for photos.

Co-worker and I did that with 280 19" CRT boxes back in 1999ish. Couldn't store them all in the machine room/storage rooms so we moved them all off pallets to another building that was in the process of remodeling. Made two huge forts and had fights with old DEC 3 button mice. Would whip them at each other/forts. hahahaha.

Awesome. We have another 15 or so Mac Pros coming in a few weeks too; all with 23" monitors. Should be another great photo op.

Cool. Nice to see Macs in government. Unfortunately I've never seen a Mac in government. I wonder where they're mostly used.

At the same time? One.
Altogether? One.
I rock.

Many of the NASA scientists use them. I supported over 1400 Macs at Ames research center in 2000.

At first I was surprised that there was a NASA research center I didn't know about. Then I Googled it.

I bought a PowerBook once. And then a couple years later I got a MacBook. So I guess the answer is one.

The past 3 summers (not counting the one that just ended) we've received shipments of ~250 computers (per summer).
I've got pics of the 2004 and 2005 piles, but I was too busy to snap any of the 2006 pile (which is too bad, 'cause it was the most impressive, IMO).
The iMacs on the floor in each pic are the outgoing machines we sold to the refurb company.

A long time ago we delivered about 900 Mac IIsi machines to the local school district where I was living at the time.

I've heard that George Fox University orders about 4,000 MacBooks every year, don't know if that's true or not.

Most likely yes. It's not too far from me, and I believe they still give you a laptop (included in your tuition).
