It depends on what you're doing. If you're writing cross-platform software, you want to do tests on all the platforms you're writing for, hence the PC. Also, most of my compilers and my preferred office suite are Linux and Windows only, and I don't feel like using Linux on a PPC Mac. > I don't have any non-Macs...what would I do with one, when everything I > have to do is not only possible, but all set up and running, on my Macs? Excellent point. Of course, I rely on my Linux machines, because it was cheaper to have my 190 and convert the Windoze machines to Linux than it would have been to go all Mac. > What do you do with your Linux computers that you can't/don't do with > your Macs? I use my Linux desktop for the same things I use the Mac for when I'm away. However, I prefer reading on the 190. It's something about that soothing greyscale screen. I'm not going to go all Linux advocate on ya. I'm a Mac guy at heart, but the cost of a new Mac, or even a PPC PowerBook comparable to my old Satellite is more than I'm going to spend. As I said, I love my 190 so much that I could marry it. I just can't afford to go Mac only. Hope this explains why I'm still flirting with the dark side.
