If the term "Apple fanboy" were in the dictionary, a line drawing of Jeremy Mehrle could well appear beside it. Chip Chick says the St. Louis resident has 74 Macs on display, including 30 that adorn the bar pictured here. "His collection contains 18 different CRT-based iMacs, a Next Cube, four different Apple II computers, and a 20th a Anniversary Mac," she says, citing MacLife Magazine as her source. It's even more impressive when you see the photos of the rest of the abode, which can be found on Flickr.

Got to give the guy credit

You have got to give the guy credit for hunting down these retro macs and in such condition.
Can you imagine what they cost new and the fun computer users had over the lifetime of these now vintage retro computers ?
Wonder if what version of the Mac OS they have installed ?
