You don’t have a computer at home? Where are you Freeping from?

I work in an industry where I have 5 computers and a TV on my desk. All of them [except eh TV] Windows based. I know what a pain it is use them. I hate them. From time to time they get viruses and I lose a lot of time and data.

I love coming home to my Apple. I’m on my fifth one. I have every computer I’ve ever owned. All work, but I don’t use them.

I work in an industry where I have one computer on my desk, and 3 monitors. It sits behind a firewall and runs a good AV software. I haven't had any viruses. I manage about 200 servers remotely, so I use them but they don't sit on my desk. They're generally butt ugly aluminum boxes with a few flashing lights on the front, and they sit in big racks in a glass house with their own AC and power. They haven't had any viruses either. When they were bought, the only only questions asked were whether they would run the software we wanted to run at the speed we needed to run it, and was the hardware reliable. I've never heard anyone ask if a server is fun or pretty, ever.

You use what works for you, and I'll use what works for me.

What's a better computer for you will depend on what's important to you, but what's important to you isn't necessarily important to everyone else.
