Does anyone here still use their old (say pre-1990) Macintosh as a regular
practice?

Until recently, I used a Mac Plus for Word Processing and other simple
tasks. I still play around with older Macs pretty frequently.

Well, yeah. I use my SE/30 (and have spent way more money than is
sensible keeping it happy) on a semi-regular basis. It is small,
unobtrusive, and has just has good karma. I keep a journal on it,
specifically for those reasons.
ok

I forgot about my SE/30; I also use it regularly with NCSA telnet
to log to several of my unix machines.

Not me so much but my 2,5 year old daugher Sandra has one that she's
allowed to play with. It's a fully functional Quadra 700 with a 44MB
harddrive and 24MB RAM .
It's a tad to slow for my taste but when she grows tired of it (or when
it's time to upgrade her to a newer Mac with OS X on it, whichever
comes first) I'm gonna try to install either apple/ux or some
*bsd-version on it. Just for the fun of it.

Is a Powerbook 170 pre-1990? I don't know if it is, but I use one. I
keep it on top of my MIDI keyboard controller and I use it for MIDI
sequencing (Opcode Vision).

I also used to carry around a Mac Classic when I was out of town. That is,
until I got an 800MHz TiBook. I have lots of old Mac stuff and I enjoy using
it. I used to have lots of old Macs networked via LocalTalk, then connected
to my G4 Cube via a Mac II operating as a dedicated LocalTalk/Ethernet
bridge. Ah, the good old days, before all this DEC and DG stuff started
taking up all my storage space. :-)

That Mac Plus is still out next to the 7300. I use it for playing Zero
Gravity and testing software. Occasionally it's retrofitted as a dummy
terminal.
Although not covered by your question, I have an SE/30 as a file server, and
a IIci as the apartment Unix host (mail, file and print services).

I use a SE (1987) as a terminal both on this Linux box (either z-term
or telnet/slip) or occasionally for packet radio.
My 630 don't quite qualify (1994) but I use that for all my letter
writing etc. plus I can watch tv on it as I type :-)

Got an SE/30 running as a general purpose network
monitor/terminal/miniserver
A Mac IIx running system 6.0.8 for old games.
A Mac IIci extra souped up with disks/PPC/RAM for System 7.1
games/apps/stuff.
Another Mac IIx will be pressed into service for BSD fun.

I use my mac IIci (with 48MB I think and 2GB) almost daily
for data acquisition with a National Instruments card and Labview 2.11 .
I have a daystar 040 accelerator for it, but it won't work with
Labview. So if I'm going to do data acquisition, I pull the
accelerator and plug the cache card. Not optimal, but I've gotten
used to it.

Does my IIgs count? ;-) I use it for little programming projects as the
mood strikes me. I'm currently writing an offline newsreader that works
through Marinetti, the TCP/IP stack for the IIgs.

I still use my Plus for making 400k and 800k disk images and software
testing, my IIx, IIcx and IIci for A/UX. The IIx and IIci are always
on. I also still use my Classic (introduce 10/21/90) for Clarisworks
but I will admit that Gobe on the BeBox has almost superceded Claris on
the Classic.
