I use one because it's my job, software dev.

And for all you all thinking macs because they are trendy.. I'm a Unix nerd thats why I use a mac, does being a Unix nerd make me trendy?

mac.

and i guess i know where to ask all my dumb mac questions. creepy.

i bet gearies use pc's 'cause they're so inferior anyway (obviously you ss/fg pc losers are still cool though). funny 'cause my old band had "pc losers" keyed into our van- but because we called some sshole a nazi for being a hate-monger, not because we used pc's. although we did. just the vandal didn't know it. or maybe he did. maybe that's what he was referring to all along.

PC. Always, mostly because Macs don't "just work" and I am not a idiot that can't figure out how Windows works. Vista is a steaming pile of ****, but I still firmsly believe that Macs are seeling more of a lifestyle than they are computers. To have a Mac means more than just owning a computer, it means that you ride a really hipster-esq FG or SS bike that has both risers and aero-bars, platform pedals, and no brakes. Maybe I am biased because I don't live in San Francisco, but I think Macs are more about saying that you own a Mac and like to use the WiFi in Starbucks than they are about having a decent computer. To demonstrate my point I present you with the link http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse....gi?u=macs_cant, which will perfectly outline the way I feel about Macs. But, in the end I still live by the saying 'to each his/her own." So, whatever.

Linux, Linux, Linux (except when I have to use windows for work)

I'm surprised there aren't more Linux users here, but I guess its nerdy, whereas mac is cool (although they share some similarities, namely a unix background)

I like being able to build computers out of the trash, and run free software on them that's not obsolete,and spend $6 on the whole thing(my home server) :)

The open source software culture is probably what got me into fixed-gear cycling in the first place

Work: PC running XP
Home: PC-based laptops/desktops running mixture of XP or Vista.
Want: a MacBook Pro
Surprised: @ number of Macs here
Thinks: maybe Mac users dont have much to do :D

PC for me, but would definitely love a Mac - my bro in law has a macbook, and it rocks. It's all sorts of good.
If some of the software I need (some scientific simulation SW and... games) appears for the Mac, I might get rid of my PC and get a fruity box.

It's not always about lifestyle. I rely on mine to make a living. Could give a fat rats ass about hipster crap or messenger bags. I'm an old fart that's been using Mac and riding fixed longer than most have been born. Oh..I don't live in SF either but....it's a cool place.
