What Mac's do you have at Home / Work?

Let's see what the most popular Mac is according to macosx.com !

Plus some older macs...

Well, theoretically the "PowerMac" contains everything from the PowerMacintosh 6100 in 1994 to the quad G5 - that's _quite_ a range. An even bigger range: "PowerBook", the first of which was called the PowerBook 100 in 1991. In 2006, you could still buy both PowerBooks and PowerMacs. I don't think this will get us anywhere...

iMac G5 is my main Mac. I also have a Quadra 650 and a PowerBook Duo 230. The StarMax 4000 I had is now owned by my father.

The thing is, not many people _still_ have those old PowerMacintosh computers from the early ninties. And I wrote PowerMac, where the first one was the PowerMac G4 (Yikes!). But yes, I could have written PowerMac G4 & G5. But to add all the older ones (the Quadra's, Performa's etc...) I would need at least 15 poll options, and I can have max. 10. And to put things like MacBook and iBook together is impossible, since its two different things. Like iMac PPC and iMac Intel (even G3 and G5 iMac is a big difference!).

Yes, actually I'd say iMac G5 and iMac CoreDuo/Core2Duo are very similar as opposed to the G3 and G4 iMacs. I know that you did what you could, I just mean the result of the poll might be a little off because of how it's done. Maybe a poll with multiple choices would be feasible. "Choose all that apply" and then have

- Desktop Mac (like: PowerMac, Quadra)
- Portable Mac (like: iBook, MacBook, PowerBook)
- All-in-one Mac (like: iMac, eMac, Classic)
- 68K processor (anything from 68000 to 68040)
- PPC G1 (601)
- PPC G2 (603/604)
- PPC G3 (750)
- PPC G4 (74xx)
- PPC G5 (970)
- intel

That's make exactly 10 choices. Hmm...

I did make it Multiple Choise, but isnt "Desktop Mac" a too big range too? And to make a poll with processors, like G3, G4, Intel etc, is not necessary as I already made one some time ago.

I guess you were lucky - having exactly 10, or did you think about it before??
