    this thread has been done so many times...

    My house is almost entirely Macs. Me and my dad have Macbooks, my brother has a mac mini, and my mum has an iMac G4. There is also an iMac G3 and a Powerbook G4 in the garage, along with the remains of two broken iBook G3s. We're getting two iMac G5s sometime in the next few weeks as well. There's also an ancient (black and white) Viglen laptop somewhere running windows 95 and most of another PC laptop that broke a while ago.

    We have a lot of computers because my dad's work let him take them.

    I think there's another iMac G3 in the attic too come to think of it, but that one is the victim of a partically successful ATX case mod and currently doesn't have a power supply.

    I've never used a Mac that didn't start irritating me within about two minutes. I like my PC.

    i've had macs for as long as i can remember. actually no, we had a PC when i was little, and my dad still has one today, but it's right next to his mac and the pc is only used by my bother and dad to play video games. My mom has always had macs for work and then got us macs for just cuz she liked em better

    Always used PC. I don't think it's superior, but I've grown accustomed to all the shortcuts and whatnot on it, and it seems silly to learn a whole new system (and try to transfer all my crap over). It works fine for me.

    Nope, Solaris 10. It manages my network storage - love ZFS!

    I think ZFS should already, or will soon be implemented in opensolaris.

    I'm on a PC right now (stupid vista... >.<) but the majority of computers in my house are Mac, and I will be getting one.

    Sure, PCs are good at some things, but for what I do, Mac is better tailored.
