fully fledged OSX-ified designer (web, print, new-media etc.) running my own busy-ness (which make me more of an accountant:( !)
 
I started off as a trainee chartered accountant for a Big 5 firm in the UK. Hated it. Well, I'm a BA Hons in American Studies (literature & politics mainly) for Pete's sake!

So I stopped training, and now I'm a developer there instead, specialising in Lotus Notes / Domino / web / bit of VB, and now learning Java.

And I have to use Windoze 2000 Pro; admittedly better than any other version of Windoze I've used... but still Windoze ;)

Got my first Mac in 1991... never looked back.
 
Hello!

Being only 14 I can not have an actual job. I do, however, do freelance work for a graphic artist. I have designed numberous websites and have layed out alot of newsletters for a missions organization called UPI.

Also, this summer I took up Cocoa programming. I designed my first app called PowerText (as some of you may know). I then switched to REALbasic development and have almost finished PowerText and have at least two more apps on the way.

It has been alot of fun the last couple of years. Programming and webdesign are sort of a hobby of mine and I enjoy them incredibly (I would enjoy webdesigning even more if I had DSL and was't stuck with a 56K modem. Talk about speed equal to that of a turtle!). I now know more about website design than does the man whom I am apprenticing!

Wishing you a joyous holiday season!

I think that there maybe something wrong with this. Everyone is a programmer or a designer. If you learn ERD you will think different.

neuroscience grad student

plus I try to keep the d*mn PCs in my lab running. you gotta have SOME reason to rip your hair out.
 
I work for a major insurance company in Southern California by the beach in there Prior Authorization Dept. I'm in charge of 3 east coast states, 2 mid west, SoCal, and our Asia assests. Currently I'm looking for any other job that lets me admin, develop, or web design. The IS dept below me enjoys pain (they use AS/400, VAX/VMS, with a dash of COBOL and RPG). I'm 20 trying to squeeze school in here and there.

If anyone knows any good companies out here let me know. I do UNIX, Mac, and Windows.

I'm a developer, working all the day on Win2K :(
But I managed to convince my boss that I needed an iMac with Mac OS X :D
So, when my stupid Dell blows up (quite often), I can enjoy myself with the Mac.
And, of course, I've got my B&W G3, at home :)

Happy XMas, all of you !
 
I'm a Web Developer, who'll do just about anything else too if it's interesting work.

My current project is a corporate video to go out in 2 resolutions for web (http://www.aaam.abnamro.ca/en/newsletters/index.asp) and also as CD-ROM. I got to shoot (Canon ZR20 DV camera), edit (could iMovie BE any better?! :) ), compress (talk about something being more of an art than a science even WITH Cleaner 5!) and burn on Hybrid CD with Quicktime 5 installers for both Mac and Windows (I actually had to get a SW Distribution License from Apple for the Quicktime).

I work in OS X all the time now (with lots of Classic). BTW, I love being able to run PHP Scripts right out of my "Sites" folder!!
 
I am a consultant working in Investment Banking. When I started up my own consultancy I threw out (literally) my PCs and bought Macs. All the guys that I commute on the train with get out their PCs and start looking at budgets, etc. - boring stuff. I get out my iBook and start editing my latest snowboarding movie (I do that a lot as well) or mucking around with MP3's, or email, etc. I feel like I am on an Apple advert at times.

(3) professor of computing and web development at a nearby college (classes prepared on my OSX-Cube, done on W2K)
(4) technical lead at my own multimedia (mostly mac-based) company (aprox. 10 employees)
(5) I can still manage to keep 99% of weekends off.
(6) No driving license yet.
(7) I have resisted buying or using a portable.

that's all for now. =)
