I own one Apple product - an iPod classic 160Gb, which is big enough to hold my entire library a couple of times over. iTunes is also a decent way to get music.

iPhone? No way no how. My BlackBerry is WAY more useful - and BB10 is going to rock.

Same with tablets - iPad is a pretty toy. But my BB Playbook (which I got at a fire sale price of $180) is amazingly useful - and unlike the iPad, multitasks. Amazing that we threw rocks at Apple's lack of multitasking all the way through the 90s and they STILL haven't got it.

I did Amiga until C= died. Then I was on a Mac (which I ran on an emulator on my Amiga - it ran faster than a native Mac) Then a PowerMac. But when Windows XP and Linux became advanced enough, I could not drop Apple too quickly.

Now my main home machine is a Linux box (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS) My wife has an iMac-esque touchscreen Gateway all-in-one running Win7 that is basically a Facebook machine. I have a Windows laptop for gaming (although Steam is coming to Linux so maybe that will change) and for software for which there is no Linux equivelent - SolidWorks, SportTracks, various engineering software packages. And my old gaming laptop is now a dedicated Computrainer machine. Oh, and there is a Toughbook running XP for programming the EFI computer in the sportscar.
