2005 I bought a 14″ ibook. I remember the exact moment I decided to buy a mac. I was on my hands and knees, leaning down trying to put a jump drive into my PC Tower’s usb port that was ANGLED UP and near impossible to work, without getting on the floor. In that moment I thought, “Apple deserves my money.” I’ve never looked back. Now have a 15″ macbook aluma-pro from 2009. wicked machine.

back in 2000-2001. needed a laptop so we got one from a european company called Tiny. the lappy had windoze ME & it crashed in a few weeks. in that time, Tiny went out of business in the US so we lost all support. our replacement was a cheap eMac. been a mac head since.

Dang, are there any PC's responding to this?? I'm a PC because that's what my workplace handed me!! It would be too much hassle for me to use two machines when my work laptop comes home with me anyway. I am all about machine uniformity across the environments in my life. It's one machine for me: the free one.

Been all PC until last year when I started working in a Mac office. Ah, my first bite. OSX is a nifty and pretty OS, and I've gotten the hang of it.

But XP has done everything I've ever needed it to. I love all of the freeware and options for customizing available to me. By God's grace, I've never had a PC die on me. I just upgraded when I needed to.

I'll probably stay PC at home unless someone gives me a Mac.

1984 was the date for me. Apple IIc sported the tiniest green monochrome screen in history. I used to get into arguments with my friend over whose computer was better. Commodore 64 or the IIc. Traded in my Atari ST in Fall of 91 and got my first mac to score music and program MIDI. Good times.
I even owned a Mac Clone (Power Computing) in the early 90s.

We bought a mac mini in 2005 after having to completely reload (I'm sure that's not the correct computer term but whatever) our PC for what seemed like the hundredth time in 3 years. A computer smart friend (who actually had been the one to fix our PC repeatedly) suggested it and we fell in love! We now have a newer macbook but the mini is still working great, too! LOVE 'em!
