I can relate to this sentiment!  Some of my machines are better suited to certain tasks than others, and are used accordingly.

My "primary" machine is a 400MHz Powerbook G3 "Lombard" used for work on the go, with my two main "home" machines being a Sun Sparcstation IPX used for mundane internet chores (simple HTML editing, ftp, irc, email, browsing) and a P166MMX (Win98SE) used for everything the IPX can't/won't do.

...and of course my A2000 is used for creating/editing graphics for my other projects.

I'm not a "retro" fan either, per se, I just don't see the point of having more "computing power" than I actually NEED.
