He hunts down 512k machines, Classics, SEs and SE30s, and early iMacs. He takes them in — from colleagues, friends, Freecycle, eBay, junk sales, anywhere — and <A href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/damianward/sets/72157605679902675/" linkindex="3">tinkers with them</A>.

Half of them are up in the attic, neatly arranged on shelves. Four or five of these are networked together. None of them are used for much; when Damian wants to work on a particular machine, he lugs it downstairs to the office. You know, where he keeps the other 15 or so computers. There’s more room down there.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://cultofmac.com/an-attic-load-of-macs/2876"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/cultofmac.com/img/944CBA69-E35A-4152-80E8-FF49AE4BDB5A" alt="damianward-attic-20060917.jpg" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://cultofmac.com/an-attic-load-of-macs/2876"><P>Some of them get used for something.
