    Those vic20s are hard to beat. Gotta love anything with a tape deck for a storage device...

    Currently using a MacBook pro 15".
    My gf has a Sony vaio SR.. There's a story on that in another thread but it's currently running nicely, on Windows 7. I've been putting it through it's paces and I quite like it.
    Considering gettng a home desktop windows 7 setup tho.
    As u can see, I don't have platform loyalty.

    I use both and than some

    iMAC running OSX, a no-brand PC running Linux, another couple of PC's running Windows XP and Vista (thinking to change one to run Win7, dunno yet) and finally a notebook running Vista.
    Ciao, Joost

    All feedback is highly appreciated!

    Hodgepodge of things here.

    My main machine is an home built system:
    Intel Q6600 quad-core, 8Gb RAM, 320Gb system drive, 1Tb backup drive
    Runs OSX Snow Leopard, Leopard and Win XP.

    Server is an AMD box running SuSE Linux, with 2x1Tb disks in RAID-1 for my photos, and 2x750Gb disks for other stuff.

    Firewall was a Sun Ultra 10 running Solaris 9 and Checkpoint FW-1, but it stopped working when the fan died

    Laptop is a G4 Powerbook running Leopard.

    There are many other machines in the house too, but the above are the ones I personally use.

    (6x) Seagates 1TB
    ASUS DSBV-DX
    12GB Corsair DRR3 RAM

    Yes actually, they do. You can even build ad-hoc ones using a tool called Xgrid.

    24" 2.8GHz iMac with 4GB RAM, 320GB internal HDD, 1TB external HDD, running Leopard. Also use an XP laptop for work.

    It's now 12 months since converting to the Mac, and everything is good.
