Which do you use?

No option for users of more than one - I use a Mac and a PC...

Right -- I had intended to offer the 'both' option. Maybe we can think of a way to extrapolate. . .?

I use a PC at one of the schools where I teach. I have to admit I find it much more difficult to deal with. Once a Mac-head, always a Mac-head?

As with any tool, the one you started with is going to be your favorite ?


SDR

it would only let me create 3 options

Two here for Macs.

mac's at home. p c at work. favor mac's 100%.

I started with a PC; Mac for the last five years, and would not go back...

Mac. What else is there?

Laurie,

Did you get your computer issues resolved? I've been on a mac since the get-go and find it so much easier. I've got a good friend who was developer at Dell in the early days (MIT grad) and he's always giving me a hard time on the cost. The experience on the mac and the ease of use makes me more productive, therefore the cost is a wash.

I'm about to invest in a new iMac with a few "hot rod" options.

I started with PCs, then changed to the MAC.

I'm afraid I don't know how to record my response to this poll directly; hence this in prose that presumably someone will have to tabulate for scoring purposes:

I use a Mac at each of two locations to read and occasionally make postings to Wright Chat: 1.) at my office (when slacking off from what some might imagine could constitute more legitimate professional activity – thanks to all of you!) and 2.) at home (when slacking off from trying to make up for lost productivity due to slacking off at the office – thanks to all of you!)

I'm not sure that really qualifies as 2 Macs, but I'll leave that determination to whomever is recording these responses . . . (?)

Thanks for being in my life, Wright Chat, and thanks again individually to each of you posters who continues to enrich this forum's readership! I joined the FLWBC as a dues paying member around the time of its chartering, and this on-line activity has been a lovely benefit that is hosted by the organization's website. Special thanks goes to Wright Chat's Moderator, Steve Sikora.

B. Buck:

Thank you for your post.

My Mac has now been fixed: thankfully it was not as serious a problem as I had envisaged. I appreciate your interest and concern.

Folk subscribing to this site use a variety of names for posting, and inadvertently I assumed that which I received as a private message was from such a one. Being aware of the loss of work time, and the expense involved in ridding a computer of viruses, I am usually very careful with regard to messages I receive from sources with which I am not familiar. Perhaps I was naive, but it was beyond my comprehension that anybody would choose to invade a site at which enthusiasts exchange views on what must be considered as a non-threarening subject.

I have always used Macs, and find the other systems cumbersome in the extreme on the few occasions I am obliged to use them outside my studio.

It appears you have found employment again.
I hope you have.

I started programming on a IBM 360 mainframe with punch cards, then on a Digital mainframe via a CRT (no cards needed) and then bought my first personal computer in the early '80s: a Kaypro, which was a 35 lb. portable. A few years later acquired my first Mac. I have purchased many more Macs over the years and have recently been able to convert my wife to a Mac from a PC.

I'd love an iPhone, but the monthly service is too pricey.
