I have many tools, and do not fill out polls for the most part.
I also am very much unfamiliar with most all Apple products. I have never owned an iphone, a mac, nor an ipod... I do use some of their software, like for streaming video. (because this site or that will request that I download it) The only apple products that I know that I use are these shareware products.

Hey, I'm Mac and I'm proud. Apple all the way since about 1979. First Mac in 1985.
Avoid windoze like the plague. No such machine will darken my doorstep.

One Gentoo Linux box,
two OpenBSD boxes, one XP box, and one iBook G4. Guess that qualifies for "combination". |

The Mac II is the oldest -- it was the first personal computer on the market that I considered sufficiently powerful for me to put in my own money. I'd used a lot of earlier stuff, but found them pretty limited. I was never willing to trust my data to audio tones recorded onto a cassette tape, for example. Or any sort of floppy disk. The SGI is my wife's, she had it when we were married, brought it to the US, and hardly used it since, such is hardware obsolescence... The EC2 instance is my newest. And in the "potential" category:
Each of these can be hacked to run whatever you want, but I haven't done so, considering them to be rather under-powered for even their current uses. I do run some TiVo apps over the network on the PC desktop. Note that I'm only counting computers that I can actually run software of my choosing on. I'd like to figure out how to run software on my Cannon PIXMA 850 all-in-one, and I wonder what it runs natively. I'd like to scan-to-network-disk or scan-to-flash. I'm not counting company computers (my only active Macintosh, for example). Nor my 20-year-old daughter's, PC or iPhone, though I paid for them... I'm not counting the microwave oven.

Why is Linux an option in a platform poll?
PC and Mac are hardware platforms, Linux is an OS... So, either you mean "Mac OS, Linux, Windows or a combination", or Linux doesn't fit into the category of the Poll, since it runs on both Mac's and PC's (Well, unless you managed to run software without hardware :O) I have plenty of PC's and one Mac... but i never run anything non-*nix Active Hardware:
Inactive Hardware:
Potentially (ab)usable:
All of the above hardware that runs an OS, runs either BSD, Darwin or Linux... Well, the Wii runs their own really odd OS (Same with the DSi)... but i have Linux for them all Only Windows PC's in the house is my 2 little-sisters (Dell Vostro 1700 (Again with a 1920x1200 panel... But damn, it's bulky/heavy compared to my MBP :/), and a Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo something (My bigger-sisters old laptop), and my parents (Lenovo IdeaPad s10e, and HP Pavilion zeSomething (17" laptop, with damn low resolution :S))... Since i'm not supplied with any hardware from work, i'm not counting something like that in (Why don't my boss thing i need computers at home, when i'm an electrician!?)... Well, unless buying some of the hardware in my own company-name (With the pure intentions of private use of course... ). And i don't have a microwave-oven, so i can't count that in either... If i had one, i would though :P Bob: Amazon EC2 Cloud account for a family Wiki? Well, maybe your Wiki is very CPU intensive, but isn't that a bit of an overkill? :P SegwayDan: I was VERY close to writing it's instead of its in this post :P

What the hell is this, Gizmodo?
Every time some there's a post even remotely about Mac or PC having a feature or something superior to the other, a major flame war erupts. This thread has been civil so far and I hope it stays that way. Besides, everyone know PCs are better than macs.
