    Hmmm for twenty years I've had a computer not a hobby. All the current ones are a bit old now, soon to be upgraded when the new iMac arrives.

    Got rid of all my Macs a good while back. Loved them but got tired of paying premium prices for stuff and doing without things I needed (my needs are rather complex) (.

    Now all PCs here, they have their own set of problems, not the least of which is m$ "operating systems" unless one goes with Linux, which is what I have done.

    OSX might have been interesting, but would not have run on any of the stuff that went into the dumpster (.

    Got a houseful of them. Slowest is one of the original iBooks (the style is affectionately referred to as the 'Toilet Seat iBook') fastest is a Mac Pro like Studlee's. I have a few other machines around running linux, and even one that runs Windows. Best toy on the Mac Pro is Parallels - it's a virtual environment and I have even more virtual computers in there !

    Bill has already taken over the world. There is always room for a dissenting opinion in a democracy.

    I have a PC as well that runs the one before Vista. I am just horrified everytime how bad the thing is! So I never got into PC's it was just too hard and they seemed to do everything so badly

    When one has finished building one's house, one suddenly realizes that in the process one has learned something that one really needed to know in the worst way--before one began.
