    PC user, but DH has an iPhone, and we have an iPad so I mainly use that for surfing the web at home. But if I'm at work or at home doing school work, then I will use my PC

    @mediagirl: it is super duper expensive. and the models with the hard drive built into the monitor do not support double monitors.

    PC user, but our next will be Mac. We have Apple TV, Iphones, and Ipads.

    I 'wasted' 7 years of my life dealing with PC problems then finally switched to mac after hearing several recommendations from my tech saavy friends and I'll never go back. Everything is better, the interface is much more user friendly and it actually works!! Haven't had a problem in the 4 years we've owned it.

    Definitely PC.

    I really dislike Macs.

    PC.

    I don't agree with Apple's business model and therefore boycott as many Apple products as possible. The only thing I own is an i-pod and I will not be getting anything else. Ever.

    We've been Mac converts for several years now. I could never go back to pc for my personal use!

    I also totally thought Mr. and Mrs. Bee would be Macs

    I always come very close to getting a Mac, then figure out how much more computer I can get for the money with a PC, and that's that. Have every other Apple product imaginable, though.

    EVERYTHING in our house is Mac. Phones, iPods, computers...we're junkies, plain and simple. Even DH's whole office is run on Mac - the entire church. I think there is ONE person that he works with who doesn't have an iPhone.

    Its a sickness, really.

    PC.

    I am keen to avoid any Apple products. I have an Ipod that I use for running - the clip is handy - but that's it.

    We're all Apple all the time. Between me and DH, we own 2 Mac laptops, at least 3 ipods, and 3 iphones (one of them is the original iphone that we now just use to play music). We both want ipads too! At work I'm a Linux person, and DH is forced to use PCs. He actually runs Windows off of his Mac laptop from time to time as well when he needs to do work-related stuff.

    PC all the way. Work provided me with a MacBook Pro so unfortunately I'm a mac there.

    Like @Mr. Bee I've been using PCs since a very young age. A few years back we got a macbook and totally regretted the decision after about a year and every day since then. So much money for something that's totally not durable and then is so expensive to maintain. The DVD drive broke after a year and it would have cost us $300 to replace it, so we just used an external DVD drive. Then we had to replace the battery twice, and our charging cords got burned through (and almost started a fire twice!), etc etc etc... Plus I've had a smartphone for years (palm until my current droid) and it was always a nightmare to sync a smartphone with a mac. I lost all my data multiple times... that sucked. (Going through that again with my droid and my work computer... ever tried to sync entourage on mac with google calendar? There's pretty much no free way to do it.)

    Our next laptop was a thinkpad and we've never looked back. I'm typing on it right now. I love how powerful it is and whenever something breaks down, we can fix it ourselves for cheap.

    We do have ipods and RJ has an old iphone we jailbroke, but most of them were gifts or free (we seriously got two free ipods from one of those freeipod.com things). We both have android phones. I considered an iphone for a while but when Rob Sr. explained that I couldn't get any apps that weren't available on itunes, I gawked and said "droid please". I just don't like having technology I don't have control over.

    ...but I'm a geek, and not a creative or artist in any way.

    It took me a while to get used to it, but my husband totally converted me to the Mac side. Love them. We have a MacBook that we fight over, and a PC in our office that will be getting replaced as soon as possible. I hate Windows.

    I converted to Mac about 7 years ago, and you couldn't pay me to bring a PC into my home now!

    We have a Mac only household. I was converted by DH about 5 years ago and never looked back. I HATE using PCs when I have to, which I don't really anymore since I work from home. We've even converted my grandparents to Mac users!

    I converted to Macs just recently (I was so against them before) Got my first Macbook pro this past summer. It's pretty awesome. Not gonna lie. Hardly any set up required - easy for me to use (not tech savvy by any means). It's fast, don't have to buy anti-spyware, and it's shiny. And it'll last for a while. My DH has an older macbook that he bought in Korea while he was living there. He got it 3 or 4 years ago and it's still running great and he has never done any major reconfiguring or upgrades.

    I am a Mac. I may even be considered a Big Mac with all of our Apple products...

    I've converted 2 years ago and haven't looked back. It was a hard adjustment especially at work getting all my development tools in place (software engineer) but now I can't imagine going back to a PC. If i do have Window Only software i just either dual boot my MAC or use VM Fusion to load windows on my mac.

    @Mrs. Bee: the new imacs do support dual monitors. They now come with 2 thunderbolt ports which can be used to attached a second monitor.
