Despite a new full-time job at an Apple store, he's actually slowing his pace considerably when it comes to getting additional computers. His girlfriend, Katrina Bibb, is threatening to get a new pet every time he brings home another machine.
The first floor of their home is brightly painted and decorated with furniture that recalls the stark lines and contemporary curves Mehrle likes from old science-fiction shows.
The rest of the place isn't overrun with computers like the basement, but Bibb notes: "The bathrooms are the only rooms where we don't have computers."
Of Mehrle's collection, she said: "I like how he displays them. I like that he has a passion."
"To me, a computer is a functional thing," she added. "It's not something you would ogle over the design."
