Boy, are you asking for trouble.

Fwiw, I've found that a Mac makes a more acceptable platform to run windows under - as a virtual device. I loves me some Mac - Parallels goodness.

[ericcoleman]

I am not asking for it ... I am demanding it !!!

I picked PC, but my next computer will probably be a Mac

Can't answer without context. The question this provokes is "For what?"

[ericcoleman]

I do not supply context, I only supply the choice

I try never to get into these religious arguments . . .

[blur01.livejournal.com]

Very very wise!

[jcw-da-dmg.livejournal.com]

Well, that's one of the reasons they call me "Wiseman". That and it's my name.

[ericcoleman]

sigh ... you think he'd learn ...

There should be a third option for "both"! I'm definitely bi when it comes to computers- happy to go either way. But I picked Mac cause we own two.

[ericcoleman]

I do not accept such moral ambiguity in the Most Important Question Of The Day. I just give a choice between two things

[bdunbar.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure what - in that context - I am. I use both at work, as well as Linux, Solaris, BSD ...

I'm a hussy, I am.

How does one suggest a MIQotD?

Work insists that I use a Sun running Solaris, so neither

I dearly loved my Performa, it gave me everything I ever never needed and then some. I do miss it. However, PC's have always been there for me too and have never let me down. In this house I have to pretty much select "PC" and "Linux" for poisons of choice. ;-)

PC, but then, I'm a big John Hodgman fan (even if he uses a Mac in real life).

My husband cohosts the "RetroMac Podcast". We are a very Mac-friendly house. I hadn't used a Mac before my husband but after 8 years of pointing out every single instance in tv shows/movies where Macs are on the screen and all the instances where Macs are used in entertainment and business *and* an Apple laptop for one anniversary and an iPod for one Christmas and various maccoutremonts for other special dates ... I've been worn down. Ooops, I mean won over. We have about 30 of them in the house, maybe more. I call it the Mac Shrine.

What's really funny is our house on a Saturday night. Everyone brings their laptop so there's 10 or 11 people in our house and all but two of them on a Mac. (We do talk to each other - but we also spend a lot of time showing each other stuff on YouTube...)

It's good to be easily amused.

Wheee! I had one get used! Yay!

I had to pick Mac if I want to keep my computer support peeps happy. One in particular. :D Plus I'm learning to really love my Mac rather lots more than my PC. I get aggravated with the work PC much more than with my Mac, although there are some things that I am so accustomed to doing on the PC that I get annoyed when I can't do them on the Mac.

I'm amused that the numbers are so evenly divided.

Yes, I'm easily amused. :P Deal with it.

Where's the Linux Box option? :-)

My husband has a laptop which has all three systems, I believe. I know it does both Mac and PC.

My laptop and the kids' machines are PCs because that's what our games and critical software require.

[ericcoleman]

That wasn't one of the choices.There are only two choices.

[blastedbill.livejournal.com]

why for you not include linux?
