Re: How many systems have you been through?
I started out with an LC II when I was like ten, it lasted forever, eventually it was maxed out with 7.6.1 and a whopping ten megs of ram.
Then a pentium system, not much happened. Tried to like windows, but that failed to bloom in any fruition.
Then came a nice Quadra 660AV. Remember the DSP and video capture? Those AV Quadras kicked ass for 68k Macs. I had it running 8.1, maxed it out to 68 megs of ram (more was possible with a little 72 pin ram doubler board thingy) and a 500 meg SCSI drive. Handled everything nicely, even with kaleidoscope running. I hooked up an old VCR and ran it through the apple video player to watch tv while doing homework 
My current Macs: an 800Mhz iBook, and an 800Mhz eMac, each with the RAM maxed out. I'm planning to stick it out with them for the long hall, and I'm sticking with 10.3.9 for now.
As a side note, I used to have a 1Ghz PIII which I sold after getting the eMac. It had XP on it. In iTunes, the best it managed to rip a CD was at 5-6x. The eMac usually hit and sustained 14x with the same settings, 24x drive (compared to the PC's 52x), and a slightly slower bus. Thanks to AltiVec, the Mhz myth was partly true for a little while atleast

Re: How many systems have you been through?
My Sawtooth G4 (which I just sold last week) shipped with Mac OS 9.1 (I think). I ran every system (including every update) from 9.1 to 10.4.4 on it without a hitch.
My current Mac (12" PowerBook G4 1.5GHz) shipped with 10.3.9 and has run every update through the current 10.4.4.
My wife's 12" iBook shipped with 10.4.2 and has been updated to 10.4.4.
