I heartily approve and endorse your downvote of my comment. I posted a knee-jerk response and I paid the price for it (PWNed like a n00b in a first-person shooter). Nevertheless, it was satisfying to call some one a "shill", and I DO detect traces of shillery in every Apple-vs-Adobe polemic to be waged on this site in the past fortnight.

To be fair, my first computer was an Apple II and I have a large collection of Apples, from II clones to about a dozen Macs and a Newton (also a couple RS/6000, Suns, one PA-RISC, two Amigas and one 8-bit Atari). I still use my PowerPC iMac, but mostly to sync my iPod.

My wife has a Macbook. I tried to use Macs for work, but I prefer a more traditional Unix desktop, one with X and select-and-middle-click goodness.

We are a multi-platform household here ;-) I even have Windows on a VM.
