What computers do you have?

PowerMac G4 533
40 GB HDD, 512MB RAM, CD-R, 20" Studio Display, Harmon/Kardon Soundsticks
Airport

iBook 500 (The small size)
20 GB HDD, 320 MB RAM, CD-R
Airport

iPod, 10 GB

Dell Lattitude laptop (Work supplied)
1.2 GHz, 40 GB HDD, 522 GB RAM, Combo drive

The newer Dell has the specs, but it cannot compete with the beauty and robust quality finish of the iBook. I can't even begin to describe how rough, cheap and nasty the Dell thing is. And the OS stinks.
 
Da mix

Work:

Dell - 800MHz P3 desktop
Sony - ??MHz VAIO Laptop (slow)

Home:

Mac 8500/400MHz G4

I also have a Mac PCI 100MHz Pentium card ... collecting dust.


Being planned, probably within the next month or two:


Work:

"Centrino" based Windows PC laptop


Home:

A newer Mac, probably before Christmas. I'd like the next-gen 15" Powerbook w/Airport, but the wife doesn't know why we should get a laptop, so she's learning towards a 17" iMac or a PowerMac tower. Knowning what Apple's 970 plans are would make a difference in the buy-now-or-later process.

PowerMac 6500/250. 128MB RAM. 40GB HD. External USB CD-RW. OS9.1

Tangent Shuttle 6700. 1.4Ghz P4. 256MB DDR-RAM. 20GB HD. Internal CDRW. WinXP Pro.

(BTW, anyone getting a PC should definately spend the little extra money on XP Pro rather than Home. It is worth every penny)

If anyone cares...

At home...

One PowerMac

Well for this machine at least because Home only supports 1 processor!
