Do you use a PC or a Mac?

I can't wait for the IPad. I went from a PC to a Mac for the reason of me not wanting Vista and it would cost more to put XP on a Laptop than we had thought so the 20" IMac was my choice just after one day of going to the Apple Store I went back in the next day and got a mac funny story is that I thought it came with a tower but realized the IMac was that sleek and streamlined I laughed ever since that. No need to back to PC. I am going to keep trying to get my parents to go to Mac but they are not convinced. I still have PC's around me but I realized that whole Macs are hard to learn was wrong because a PC to me is hard to operate.

Soo. . .it's looking like the trend here at WC is counter to the national statistic: more Macs than PCs. Interesting. . .

Understand, I wouldn't be trying to dis the IBM/Microsoft world and its adherents. In fact, I bought my first computer, a 1999 Blueberry (?) Mac, in
2003, as a result of its original owner having to give up his "baby" and get a PC in order to pursue a legal claim against a former employer (or
something). Odder things have happened, I'm sure. . .

So, though I would probably have gotten one sooner or later, this event put a Mac on my desk -- and the rest is history, as they say.

A short, necessary experience with a PC sent me running back to my mac. At the time file conversions were an issue, and Apple has taken care of that.

We bought the first iMac (1998?) and a few more since.

I use 4 PCs and 2 Macs.

I have to say that I find the Macs simultaneously the best thing since sliced bread *AND* the most retarded and intentionally crippled devices I have ever owned.

I have a good policy for Apple equipment: You're a retard to buy it new. Don't give Jobs your money, buy it second hand.

That's quite a statement ! Can you give some examples ?

What is the nature of your work that requires six computers?
