PC. MACs are worthless in the engineering world. My first two computers were MACs, though.

Mac laptop for travel, PC running Linux on the desktop, and poorly administered Windows at work. I love my Mac, and I'm usually satisfied with my PC. I suspect if the Windows machine at work wasn't administered by a bureaucracy that would put the Vogons to shame, it'd probably run reasonably well. (sigh)

I use a PC w/ XP Pro..

However, I have stuff on it that duplicates alot of what a Mac U/I does. I find it alot easier to use. It confuses both PC and Mac people.

for those interested:
Stardock - Object Desktop
  • DesktopX ( Animated Icons on Desktop w/ Widgets )
  • WindowBlinds ( changes windows to Mac style )
  • Object Bar ( Thing @ Top that pulls menus from window plus finder etc .. )
  • Object Dock ( Animated Icons in a bar at the bottom )
  • Various Widgets and Objects

Here's a sceenshot :

Remember --- this is Windows XP Pro without the " Bill " factor

5 Macs and 1 PC at home.

1 Mac and 1 PC at work.

The only thing I want that I can't get on my Mac is 3D Studio Max although I do have several alternatives. I guess I really want 3ds simply because I can't get it.

I'm forced to use PCs at work. We switched over to PCs from Macs at work back in the late '80s... Been using Macs at home since '93.

Just switched to a Mac at home; wondering why I waited so long. At work, it's PC's, but I have tech support there to fix their constant problems, plus very dilligent virus police and the firewall from hell. I found that at home without my company's resources on these fronts, and no willingness to learn about them and troubleshoot my home computer, the Mac has been a godsend.
