This isn't a Mac "issue" per se, but it doesn't really belong in a non-Mac-related forum here.
We're a pretty geeky crowd here, and I was wondering how many of you fellow Z users are recent (as in, the past year) switchers to the Mac? You get one side on, for instance, the MacRumors forums, where non-techie folks seem to be a dime a dozen, but it'd be nice to get some idea of how many power users have taken the plunge. For the record, I switched in the pre-iPod days. |

I bought my wife a used eMac about 6 months ago, to replace her WinXP Home desktop, which was just too vulnerable. I run a Xandros Linux box, and an old Win XP machine as a webserver and utility machine for stuff Linux doesn't do yet. (My Abyss X2 server runs on Windows, yes, but it's reasonably secure, and its the paid version which I would have to pay for again to switch to the Linux version of.)

Uggghhh, only about 10 more years and we won't have any more of them in the schools.... Pain to work on. Fun to carry a lab of 30 or so up a flight of stairs too. ![]() |
