I forgot to mention on my previous post... I now own an iBook 500MHz, 640MB RAM, DVD, 10GB HD, and the only thing I would trade it for would either be for an iBook 600 12" or a PowerBook G4 Ti.

You should do that, it'd be funny. Or maybe replace an NT box with an old-style iMac that runs OS X, so it can use WinNT networking protocols.. now THAT would be pretty funny...

"Gee, Bob, why do you suppose the network's so fast now?"
"They got a Mac in here and it runs Windows or something like that."
"Oh. OK."

I voted never a PC. I've inherited one, but I'd never buy one. I'm just not interested in supporting Microsoft unless it's Mac software. If I need Windows, Virtual PC does the trick. I suppose MS still gets royalties or whatever, but I still consider VPC to be a plus for Mac.

And I re-found it right after you did, since you bumped it up by posting to it.

I voted "Never a PC". I'd rather use a 9" black and white Classic than a PC. I'm so sick of Windows! And I get very frustrated configuring Unix...

Oops.

I voted G3. I'm hopelessly addicted to OS X now and haven't booted back into 9 or run Classic in almost as long as I can remember. Besides, if I got a PC I could always put Linux on it, now that thanks to OS X I would have some idea what I was doing...

Also the poll itself is screwed up... the first item should read "Nothing, PC's rule!" indicating that there's no Mac you'd pick over a top-of-the-line PC, and the last one should read, "Any mac is better than any PC."

Just decided to be a jerk...
