I have a Mac at home, actually several, but I mostly access CP from a windoz box at work. I think the university must own stock in Dell ::)

My desktop is "generic" built for me and is now waiting for a new power supply unit. Meanwhile I'm using my Toshiba laptop.

Quite a collection. I'll add Acer to the poll, and make it so people can choose multiple options.
BTW, welcome to the site. :)

I fixed the poll so anyone can make up to 4 votes at one time. But I don't know about voting a second time once "submit" has been clicked - I don't think that can be done except by deleting all the votes already entered and starting over.

Multiple computers, my Windows machine is custom built by me and about 2 years old so it's getting dated. My main computer is a Mac Pro and it's a workhorse. 8 Cores running at 2.8GHz, 12GB RAM, and a nice 30" Apple Cinema Display which comes in handy when working in Photoshop or editing video.
Also have a MacBook Air, SSD so it's light and fast and is a great tool to take to client meetings or down to Starbucks or Pete's for a little breather.

Snow Leopard on both. Apple sells their package, upgrade iWork, iLife, and OS for around $140. Pretty reasonable.

iMac and MacBook Pro and iPod Touch (32gb). Yes, the iPod Touch is a computer. I do much of my online reading and correspondence on that nifty little machine.
Macs just work and work and work.

Beautiful autumn photos, my favorite has to be this shot (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XrwZJA60lCk/SxOSycE7L3I/AAAAAAAABNo/umNFFo_1SUM/s1600/IMG_4480.jpg) I just love the angles of the building in the photo.
