Meh, only 3 iPhones.

Though I will probably get an iPad 3 shortly (assuming 'retina' display) and if they produce a 15" MacBook Air I may have to sell one of my kids.

My favourite reply to someone coming from PC/Windows a few years ago, asking what was the difference between Mac and Windows was -
'Do you know of anyone that attends a 'Windows users club!'

I am not a fan boy but I have owned ....

iPod 1g 5gb
iPod 2g 20gb
iPod 4g Photo 60GB
iPod 5g 30GB
iPod 5g 80GB

iPhone
iPhone 3g
iPhone 3gs
iPhone 4
iPhone 4s

iPad 1
iPad 2

Macintosh
iMac
Mac Book Pro
Mac Book Air

Apple tv 1
Apple tv 2

Airport express (btw the worst router I ever bought in my life and 5 times the price)

Apple MessagePad

The Pippin

and I recently bought an Apple Lisa of eBay

In saying all this, I think that osx is a load of **** and really the only os that apple has ever done anyway decently is iOS.

If you want functionality, use a PC, if you want style without ergonomics get a Mac. I have been working in IT for almost 12 years and have been using computer for 25 years and the one thing that pissed me off more then anything is total idiots telling me how much better a mac is then a PC.

The one I hate the most is when they say "Oh mac is so much better for design work / graffic design" Yeah that is total crap. Firstly adobe used to not even make products for the mac, hence the whole flash not on iOS. Secondly for any sort of design work you require a right click and osx makes this one of the most difficult tasks in the world. Thirdly every program made for design starts off on a Windows environment.

I think the file manager for osx is stupid too.

With the release of Windows 7, MS has launched themselves so far past OSX, Apple will find it hard to ever catch up. They should stick to what they are good at which is mobile devices.

And truth be told, I wouldn't buy an iPhone if the made it impossible to jailbreak it. Sure where do you think apple gets all their ideas from, jailbreak apps. The biggest example of this the app store, just a rehash of installer from ios 1.0

Anyway, sorry for the rant, but felt it must be said.

Prime candidate for post FAIL of the year !! Photoshop was first developed ONLY for Macintosh. All Macs come with a 3 or more button mouse as standard and Right Click is now standard for all Mac mice. How long have you been in IT then ?! Oh and it's Apple who decided that Flash wouldn't be supported on iOS not Adobe.
