Are You A Mac or PC?

I have a theory that Airstreamers are disproportionately one of these, but I won't bias things by saying which. Please cast your vote: which computer type do you use MOST FREQUENTLY?

I would set up a poll and let people vote, easier to tally the vote that way. BTW I have PC's but several of them run Linux rather than windoze. (so where do those fall in a poll?) Computer count is: 3 laptops, 2 netbooks and 1 desktop.

Oops.

I need to apologize; this question has indeed been bandied about on the Forum long before now. Sorry.

Still, interesting to see it's almost 50/50 among AS owners, while the population at large is about 88% PC/12% Mac. This supports my (fairly obvious) hunch: Airstreamers tend to be lovers of things with a strong design aesthetic.

I have both but I mostly use PC. For *me*, I don't find either OS inherently superior, they each have their pluses and minuses.

But yes I can see where the Mac OS design, (and the Apple hardware for that matter) would be appealing to the owners of Airstream trailers.

Two Macs and an AppleTV, so 3 Mac's really. My office is littered with PC and Unix machines, but they don't go camping. I'm pretty pragmatic though, best tool for the specific job and all...
