My main box is OS X, but I work remotely on Unix systems, and occasionally have to fire up Virtual PC to test out web pages in a Windows browsers.

Linux Mac and Windows
At my house my brother and I are the only Mac users. I have an iBook G4 and he has my old iBook G3 (I sold it to him when the iBook G4 came out). I have a KnoppMyth machine (a Linux distribution used for TV recording and PVR features), and I have a Mandrake Linux server. All the other computers at my house are PC's running Windows 98, NT, Me, XP-home and XP-professional. In total my household has about 10 working computers at any given time (and there are only 6 of us living here!). I have to be fair, though; my dad needs a lot of computer equipment for his work, He's a freelance video editor and four of the computers are his. If we got two more computers there would be two computers for every person in my family! Initially, we had to decide whether or not to setup a physical LAN or to use wireless. We only had a few computers we wanted to connect to the network at first, so we started out by running a couple of wires through the attic. By now, though, wireless would have made things so much easier... but that's another story. At my house I'm the computer-guy, I'm sure a lot of you can relate. I know that if it weren't for me, we would not have so much computer stuff. I love setting things up, especially computers for specific tasks (like a server or PVR for example).
Could we redo this poll next for "at work"?
The results are interesting, but what I would like to see is this poll run again, with the same options, but for at your place of work. In my case I would go from "Mac OS only" to "Mac + Windows".
Stay tuned!
You've guessed our next poll :)
Something else...
What? No option for GS-OS 6.0.1, DOS 3.3, or Lisa Office System 7/7?
Mac OSX
bout 99% of time use Mac OSX,
All three, too...
though I try to avoid booting into Windows (mostly for my wife, she doesn't know anything about Linux and isn't interested.
OSX, WInders and Unix
OSX Server on a G5 DP2.5, Powerbook G4 running TIGER, Winders of many flavors (XP and 2000) and a Linux 2.4.29 for my firewall (Smoothwall.org)
The Darkside
My wife is firmly in the grasp of the Darkside, help me save her......
Yes
I live in a house full of geeks... we have 5 macs (granted 3 of them are mine) and countless Windows PC's. In the "Server Closet" I have a Smoothwall firewall, therefore, my house runs all 3 platforms. :)

OS X only
And I'm fortunate enough to work in an all-Unix department too (originally mostly Sun, now almost entirely replaced with Linux). The only time I get involved with Windows machines is when my Mum's or my Dad's goes wrong.
Does it count...
... as using Windows "at home" if I am running Remote Desktop Client on my Mac at home but connecting to my Windows box at work? Technically it is running at work but being accessed from home.
If a tree falls in the forest but there is no one there to hear it, does it still make a sound? What is the sound of one hand clapping? Is there really any difference between unlimited wealth and unlimited power? --- |
