well...
If you count work computers I have had 100s if not more. Everytime they would get a new shipment of desktops or laptops in, I would grab one for myself so "I could learn the new product" we were deploying to our users. So, I basically got a new desktop every 6 months, and I have been in my field for almost a decade. I also have been supporting both PCs and Macs for that whole decade so I have always had both on my desk.
Right now in my office I have a G5 dual 2.5, an iMac C2D, macbook, macbook pro and a mac mini, well 2 minis technically but one is used to automate a certain task.
I have used windows since 3.11 and even had NT4.0 on a dual pentium pro system, all the way up to vista, including server OSes from server 2000, adv server 2000, server 2k3.
Mac OS since OS 7ish and all the way up to 10.5.
Linux since 1999ish which was about SuSe version 5 or 6, now they are up to 10.2 I think.
I also did at one time have a Unix machine as well as Qnix and BeOS as well, but never really used them as much as the others. At my first tech job we had this system in the corner all of us just tossed OSes on at random to try them out.

well let me see...there was the computers at school, started using them when i was in first grade i think they were those colored macs, i didn't know what os they were(took me my first half hour to figure out my login name lol) so there was no way i could have known, then the one we had at home was a 128mhz processor and 40mb of ram(my psp has 333mhz and 32mb of ram and im thinking about running linux on it lol) i think that was windows 3.1 or something like that, i remember we had one from best buy like a hewlett packard that had windows 95 on it, that one turned into a peice of crap, then one after that had 98 on it i can't remember specs, then my grandma got a computer that i used occasionally that had xp home edition i think it has a 2ghz p4 and 128mb of ram, the computer i'm using now uses windows xp home edition and has a p4 3ghz and 512mb of ram, then my grandmas laptop(yes i have one bitchin' granny) has a 1.7ghz athlon x2 1gb of ram nvidia 6100 go and vista home edition. one long story, eh?
