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...

Are You A Mac or PC?
PC all of the way . . . never another Apple product . . . too much inconsistency in warranty I owned six and had warranty issues with each. Currently have two Dell Laptops and two Dell Desktop computers running either Windows XP Professional or Windows Vista Ultimate.

Wife is PC
I'm a Mac
Between home and work we collectively have 3 Macs, and 3 "PCs", all of which run on Mac hardware.
1 MacBook Pro, running OSX 10.5, Windows XP (VM), Windows 7 RC (VM)
1 MacBook, running OSX 10.5, Windows XP (VM)
1 G4, running OSX 10.5
Question; Anyone ever try and polish their MBP or MB to match their Airstream?!

Even though this issue has been addressed before here on Airforums. I think it is a good idea to bring this up again since it has been a couple of years. Two years in computer life is like twenty years in any other area.

Three more PCs . .
The three unbiased PCs are home desktop, home and abroad laptop, and work desktop. Each uses XP Pro with some relatively unexciting yet yeoman software.
