So...
This morning you've got time for a hot, home-cooked breakfast! Delicious and piping hot in only 3 microwave minutes.
I have a Gateway laptop, and a Gateway desktop and then we also have a Dell.
My son, who goes to art school, has a Mac and he'd like to get a newer one. I guess when you start with one kind, you end up liking it. He wants another Mac. He better get a fucking second job then!![Evil or Very Mad :evil:](./images/smilies/icon_evil.gif)

I'm not angry anymore....

There are 4 PCs at home -- remember there are 4 kids to fight for computer time with. Three of these are running Windows XP while the other is running GNU/Linux. At work, I use GNU/Linux nearly full time and my laptop dual boots Windows XP and GNU/Linux.
At the current time, I have a mix of RedHat and Fedora on the GNU/Linux computers.
NOTE: For those who are concered with the difference between open source and free software, the Free Software Foundation recommends that Linux be called GNU/Linux because Linux technically refers to only a small piece of a distribution. Most of the user level software is from the FSF's GNU project. I have donated code to the FSF in the past and currently sit on one of their project's steering comittees. And yes, this does make me a software nerd.

Mac for me, as you can see from the "Computer Gear" thread. I switched over to a Mac about 8 years ago. I love the stability, ease of use and the cool applications. Windows has become so bloated over time that I don't know where to look anymore. My wife still runs XP on her Thinkpad (work requirements) and she hates it. We keep all of our home stuff - photos, finances, music, etc. on the Mac.

So are any of you Mac users taking the plunge and moving to Tiger? The new search feature looks great and I like the idea of RSS built right into the browser. The rest of the enhancements are less interesting to me. I think I may wait until they iron out the bugs - usually takes a few weeks.

Just noticed <a href=http://edition.cnn.com/2005/TECH/ptech/ ... .html>this article</a> on Tiger this morning...

As with WSS, Mac, see the Gear thread! J'adore le Mac.
No, I'm just getting used to whatever it was called pre-Tiger. I guess a free upgrade ain't too likely. Can't I get a discount at least?Who Shot Sam? wrote:So are any of you Mac users taking the plunge and moving to Tiger?

Actually, Mac does have an "up-to-date" program that will allow you to upgrade to Tiger for about $10 (at least that what it is here), assuming that you've purchased a new Mac after April 12. I assume that you've had yours for slightly longer than that?Otis Westinghouse wrote:As with WSS, Mac, see the Gear thread!
