Right now it's a mac, but it's my school's computer. Usually I use Windows XP.

Yay you have your own cluster don't you? hehehe ;-) There was a time I had several old computers sitting side by side. Now I just have this lone one. My son uses XP though I really don't like it on his machine(it's an athlon T-bird 1.6GHz and mine is an AMD64 3100+)

A i-Mac or they give you something else? Growing up where I am I was able to use 2e apples but there was one xt sitting in the room there at the lab. These days though my son says they are all i-Macs. I would get an i-Mac for school or a mac laptop but since I need things to run native windows/unix it's best I stick to a pc.

3x XP, but not all at the same time.

Getting Apple when Leopard comes out, which will most likely be after the summer now...due to the iPhone :twisted:

Debian on my main workstation

Debian on my laptop - may replace with Suse, just to have working wifi and cpu scaling. But I haven't really used this machine since I finished school

Debian on my test box, haven't used it in a while either.

The frequently frustrating XP. I'm feeling very open to change, next time around, but will need something user-friendly. I hope my current machine/system will last a good while longer, though, because it'd be a real hardship to come up with the money for a new one.

XP and OS X.something.

I got priced out of a new Mac a few years ago so my desktops have been PCs since then, and so was my last laptop. Got a MacBook last year and have been trying to get with the new Mac jive ever since. Migration from 9 to 10 has been a challenge but it's getting there.
