Q&A: what Macs do you have?

Got this one via email:

what macs do you have?

Here in my office, I've got two Macs. One is a MacBook Pro with a 2.5 GHz Intel Core2Duo processor and 2 GB of RAM. It's pre-unibody, and now that the new MacBook Pros are out with the higher-resolution screens, I'm thinking that it's time to chat with my manager and beg for new hardware. My other Mac is a Mini, with 1.66 GHz Intel Core Duo -- that's right, the original Intel Mac Mini. That's probably in need of an update too. (For completeness, I'll also mention that I've got a mostly-unused HP desktop of unknown provenance that's running Win7.)

I've written up my Mac as a media centre earlier, which is pretty in-depth about how my Mini at home does some awesome stuff. Additionally, I bought a MacBook a couple of months ago, so it's the 2.26GHz Intel Core2Duo with 2 GB of RAM. This is my primary personal machine.

There's a couple of other Macs hanging around the house. My husband has a matching MacBook. We've got an older Mac Mini, the last generation of the PowerPC Minis, sitting in the closet right now. There's also an ancient lampshade iMac that lives in the study, and which is slowly dying. It freezes on occasion, and those occasions are getting more frequent.
