Hey everyone
I was at the Sedona Ridgeline meet today and I noticed a few Apple stickers on trucks. Are there many Mac users?
I work for a company that is 50% MS Windows and 50% Apple Mac. I use a MacBook Pro for work and have two other Macs here at home for personal use, plus my Windows and GNU/Linux systems.
I have five systems here on my desk -- three Macs, my Debian Linux box (typing on it now) and my Windows thing. Computers are my job, so I've got a lot of them laying around.

I've been using a Macbook Pro for the past 6 months as my primary desktop for home, teaching, consulting, and general support services. Since then, I've also started supporting an iMac at our church. I also support Windows and Linux/Unix environments, so I've found it to be an exellent platform. Right now I'm experimenting with a new utility app that will let OS-X and Linus-based systems integrate with Active Directory. If that ends up working out well, I can bet there will be more Macs in my future.

I have a few Macs here: 2 laptops (iBook and MacBook), a 20" iMac for the kids and two Mac Minis (one as an FTP server/general office machine) and one in my RL (see link in sig-file). Oh yah, have an iPhone, too.
Mac's and RL's just make sense!

I've been using Apple hardware since 1984.
Current arsenal includes:
MacBook Pro 17" - my main machine for communication
Mac G4 (aka Quicksilver) as the center of my Final Cut System (soon to be upgraded to a MacPro)
Waiting on the 3G iPhone!
Below find my original machine with version 1 of Macpaint/Macwrite. The RAM died a few winters ago so now its just an antique.

My first 'Mac' was an Apple II+ (pre-Mac) bought new in 1982. Machine still worked a couple of years ago when we gave it away...

I got my first Mac, an SE, back in the mid-80's and have used one ever since at home, currently have a G5. :D
I'm stuck with MicroShaft WinBlows at work. :(

J, it's good to hear you swing both ways (in computers!). I was the one who hollered there was no such thing as too many computers just before you won the certificates you put back into the raffle after declaring you had way too many computers. I jumped to a conclusion that only a PC person would say that, as I could never have too many Macs.
I have a white Apple next to my name on the truck and I also have custom door sill from 5S Dude with my more common computer moniker: MacLoyal. I wish I'd have shown it to you.
Do join in with our Mac Central discussions. I'm always delighted to have other Mac enthusiasts on board.
