Good lord - so many Mac users!

My rev a G5 is scanning right now, so I'm on a small VAIO with Win2000.

I started a local Mac Users Group here in my city though, so you can't kill me ;-)
 
Win 98SE here...yes, I know..but it runs smoothly for the needs I have and does not freeze the dinosaurs I use (PII 333).

At least the screen on the desktop (in storage at the moment) is a 19" Dell-branded Sony Trinitron that I got for CHF10 (USD8-ish) at a Thrift Army .:D .

The next computer will probably be a Mac, combined with a storage solution running Linux (no clue on the distro, yet - will think about that at a future time)

erhm, perhaps OpenBSD?

Or, er, one of the even better *BSDs? (Sorry, I've had more than one run-in with Mr. de Raadt & his ego... :bang: :bang: :bang: I'd rather deal with Mr. Gates. )

Too bad I can't check more than one.

Mac OS X on the laptop that I carry with me, GNU/Linux on the Laptop I don't (the one in the bedroom for late night reading), Slackware distro. Mac OS X on a couple other systems at home (the picture processing machine is a Dual G5 with Mac OS X, Aperture, and far more importantly, World of Warcraft on it)

At work, I'm a Unix admin, so "whatcha got?" is what I do. I'm also the OS/2 support guy (and yes, we still have some running, but only a few boxes...)

I like computer operating systems. I like pie.

My VT220 is hooked up to a PDP 11/70 running DEC VMS.

Wow, I used to play with VMS back in the early 90s. Don't recall much of it though... wasn't it something like SET DEF [-] to step up a directory level or something?

XP here, I think it's the best OS Microsoft has cranked out.
 
VMS doesn't run on a PDP....

VMS doesn't run on a PDP....

"$ Set def [-]" will indeed move you "up" one level of directory structure.

However, you would need to be running on a VAX, an Alpha or an IA64 to be running VMS.

ChrisPlatt was certainly pulling some legs, as there no VMS on an 11/70 (PDP), and a VT220 would not be able to navigate this forum, even under VMS.

Live to geek...... Overcooled and Overclocked. PC's rock.

Yeah I used to think that, but OS X is pretty slick too.. with a few exceptions that makes you wanna say: "What the hell were they thinking?" :bang:
 
OS X here now.

Windoze unfortunately when I'm at work. I purposely avoided this poll when I saw this at work yesterday because my personal preference is for OS X.
 
Ywenz is that you doing the vocals on your video or did you produce it. BTW it's sick. (Sick in a good way)
