I guess we are a house divided:  not only is my husband a Muslim and me a Christian (HISTORICALLY speaking, that's how we grew up), but he's a Mac user and I'm PC (Sony Saio laptop, but who's counting...?)...

See?  This is exactly what I was talking about.

Coffee shops.  Hookahs.  Bad poetry.

Bad poetry--oh noetry.

I'm actually more of a hippie type, but yes, he bought the hookah.

And I probably would be on a Mac if my workplace permitted on a regular basis.

(incidentally, the thing is a glorified golf cart, but I'm enjoying not paying $4.25/gal for gas)

I have a Mac and a Windows machine in the same office, and Linux installed on my laptop.

I fucking hate computer users who get all religious and judgmental about it. They deserve prolapse and hobnail patterns on the back of their heads.

Windows at work, mac at home.

That pretty much sums it up.  I'd never try to do a complicated spreadsheet at home, and I'd never attempt to remix a track at work.

Well, hobnail patterns are your department after all.

Windows everywhere.  It works for me.  Also, BSoD is a good excuse for why I didn't do anything.

I really only take the piss on this subject because some people get all wrapped around the axle about it, and that's like waving a red flag at me, know what I mean?

Personally, I like the idea of being able to pick and choose OS's at will.  Bill Gates and Steve Jobs have had it all their own way long enough.

I use Windows stuff mostly because they tend to agree more with my wallet. 
Cynicism is a blank check for failure.

I use whatever the hell is on the computer when I buy it. PC seems to be much cheaper than Mac.
