Friday Pointless Poll: Gadget Edition

[jeriendhal]

Note: I hate Apple. Hate them. Hate their irritating DRM restrictions. Hate their lack of generic interface plugs. Hate their mod styling. Hate their Cult of Personality marketing plan. Hate, hate, hate, hate.

But rest assured the poll is completely unbiased.

You know I'm an apple guy, even though I make my living on PCs.

I'm currently *actively* using a MacMini and a MacBookPro; it's my third laptop. As you know, I had about 3 mac desktops before that. Average useful lifespan: 5 years each. Number of days lost to viruses, malware, or Windows' self-inflicted wounds? zero. The Mini is my home media server and file hub. I connect to it from the laptop or iPad, and the monitor is my 50-inch plasma TV.

I'm on iPod #2 -- my first one required a new battery midway through but lasted far longer than I had any right to expect. I upgraded to a much nicer one a year or so ago. I bought an iTouch specifically to avoid getting the iPhone because I have Verizon. I use it frequently, especially during travel.

It was my PC-centric company owner who decided we needed iPads -- and *i* was the one who suggested we wait. I am *absolutely* in love with it; I use it constantly for a ton of little tasks.

I've lost at 2 days of work every year to viruses or malware or windows stupidity.

The apple hate is pure contrarian nonsense. I use what works.
