<------ Plans to buy iMac in a few months or next year.
I only have PowerPC Macintosh 8100/81. They won't support
Mac OS X.
But Mac OS 9 comes out last year, so it still good.
Currect softwares still supports Mca OS 9. Some software
requires G3 process that I don't have.
When I buy new iMac, I'll get Mac OS X.

Why would any Windows-only user be on this forum?
And why would they bother taking this poll?

Where's your head at?
i use my pc as my main computer, for everything basically. and my pc is much stronger then any mac
i use my powerbook as my 'school' computer. wireless internet = ownz. where ever i go, my powerbook goes.
and its a good thing to have both platforms, since most my classes use macs.
i want to convert to 100% mac, but i lack mac-warez-hookups.
no programs = no mac

I do not know if emulated VMS counts. At least until recently what was left of DEC was coming up with new releases. Our last VAX died about 6 months ago.
AIX is (or was) quite proprietary for IBM RS/6000 workstations, most of which actually had POWER processors rather than PowerPC processors. (Almost but not quite the same). I haven't actually logged on in a couple of years, as we replaced most of our AIX machines with Solaris machines about 6 years ago.
The digital Unix was on alpha stations and I think VAXen, but that was a few years back in Belgium, so I do not have any screen shots. The last time I was there it may have been Tru60, but the earlier times it was just called digital unix. Its WM seemd to be emulating the VMS look and feel.
OS/32 ran on Concurrant (and earlier Perkin-Elmer) mini-computers. For the most part it was a strictly green screen OS. As far as I know they never added any windowing to it at all. OS/32 was mostly developed for data acquisition. Even the multi-hundred MHz UltraSPARCS aren't as good at taking in data and throwing it to tape.

I think its always good to have both, Macs and PC's at home or at work. As many people already said, there are things that can't be done [well] on Macs, and there are things, that can't be done [well] on PC's.
But imagine a world without Apple....
I think I'd give up my job (software programmer), move to Australia and live my live there in the Outbacks. Without ever touching a PC again in my life.

I am the law!
I've got 3 computers at my desk with 4 monitors [3 17"ers and 1 21"].
To my left we have a 733Mhz PIII Dell running win2k
In the middle we have a Dual 500Mhz G4 running 10.1
and to my right we have a 600Mhz Duron running Slackware Linux
The Dell is for emergencies
The Linux box is a quake3 server
and the G4 is for making money
Most of the time I have all 4 monitors hooked to the G4

You son of a diddly gun
I am so envious... I wish I had some $$$ to spend on getting another, newer mac, with more monitors .
I will stick with my G3 for the next 2 years he he.
I will buy no more PDAs, no more cell phones, just save really hard to get a nice mac in 2 years.
hey btw, has anyone successfully clustered 2 macs under OS X ?
I am looking into doing that
