Rather than continue a "Grand Theft - Thread" exercise, how many Axiom owners also own/use/prefer Apple Macintosh versus the dark side (PC)? The meter is running.

Oh lordy, you're really asking for it now.
Here's my rundown (including my work Powerbook)
PowerMac G4/dual 1.25 (FW800)/768 MB/80 GB/Radeon 9000/Combo/OS X 10.3
Athlon 1400/Asus A7V333/896MB/Radeon 9500 Pro (128 MB)/30 GB+120 GB/CD-RW/Windows XP SP1
Powerbook G4/867/512 MB/30 GB/OS X 10.3
Powerbook G4/667 (DVI)/512 MB/30 GB/OS X 10.3
TiVo Series2 222hr (formerly 60 hr)
Newton Messagepad 2000. (no I don't use it any more...)
Yes, I do consulting for the Macintosh (including servers and networks). Yes, I play games on my PC. Yes, I play games on my Mac. Yes, generally speaking, I would use a Mac before I would use a PC. No, I'm not getting into a flamewar. Unless you ask really nicely.
I am the Doctor, and THIS... is my SPOON!

As you know, I'm a Mac guy. My dad bought the original Mac back in 1984. The rest is history.
Like Ken, I have both a Mac and PC at home (not including the X-Box). I haven't turned the PC on since I beat Call of Duty, though.

If you had a baby, neither would you. But don't let that stop you. C'mon Ken, have a baby...

I've got a Graphite iMac (the old CRT special edition one). The small screen is is starting to bug me more and more each day...not that I can afford to do anything about it at the moment.

My systems - (yes systems)
Athlon 900 Windows XP
Athlon 900 Linux Slackware 9.1
Athlon K-7 Windows 2000 Server
Pentium III Linux Slackware 7.2
IBM 390 Notebook Slackware 9.1 (Music Server)
Plus network to pull it all together. I also have an x-box that I bought with the intention of turning into a media server over the next couple of months. I like Macs but where I live it is easier to get PC's

Do I count if I have my original Mac Plus w/ 128K RAM, 32MB external HDD, and 2nd external floppy plus boatloads of software? I actually work w/ Apple on some of their projects now. The G5 is VERY cool, though it doesn't run cool...
Or how about if I REALLY coveted getting a Newton?
