    So how many of you have switched?

    How many of you here, browsing these forums, have switched from PC to Mac?

    Note: I know threads have started about this before, but now that the campaign has been running for a while, it would be good to get some updated numbers.

    EDIT: Fixed a spelling error.

    I officially switched May 16th 2002, when I got my QS 933.

    Even though I've always used macs, but only at school and work, my home system was a peecee.

    Now I just got to get my bro to switch. :->

    I'm a tenth anniversary switcher. Started using macs in Jan 1992. At first I struggled with speed, now I hate it when forced to use win____ at school, but there's two chances that will change, slim and none.

    iLove my iBook and iWant an iMac! ;^)

    I went from Win to Linux and co-used Mac and Linux.

    And now that I'm happy with what Mac does iI don't feel I need Linux.

    So that make me double switch? Win > Linux and Linux > Mac OS X (I hate classic)
