i'm posting from work, and we all use G3s and G4s, mostly iMacs, but next door in our storeroom we have a multitude of macs through the ages, including a Macintosh IIcx, a Macintosh LC and a Macintosh SE/30, not to mention a good few different flavours of PowerPCs too (Quadras and so on).
I know it doesn't really count, because they're not even mine, and i'm not even using them, but they are very cool and retro et c, and they are selling them all off soon (or dumping them i suspect) so i am toying with the idea of getting one of their old macs. it might not be worth my while though, you know, i'm of two minds....

If they aren't chargind more thatn 50 bucks, they are way fun to play with. One of Mac peoples fav. things to do is make a macquarium    . Or you could shit (<=== great typo HAHA!!) err... ship, the SE/30 off to Japan and have this done:

I'm running an LC (1992), a Mac Plus (1988) and a Mac 512k (unknown date of manufacture, needs tube discharge).

Do I win?

Come on dude, you dont use any of those computers for day to day work, even year to year work.

Oldest machine you use nearly everyday. I was certain it would be my 1998 powerbook, but I guess have a longer useful lifespan than that!

I cant play a divx movie smoothly above 352x240 (varies on encoding parameters of course).

Running more than three applications is painful in OSX, but MacOS still chugs away (unitasking).

Actually, one of the oldest macs, a Classic Mac 128k. Was actually one of the first PC webservers. It was retired recently, but it actually handled the workload! Pretty impressive I think

I use my LC almost every day - it makes one hell of a LocalTalk file server. Plus, it runs Minix.
