Are you kidding? This is as bad as asking us if we drive a Chevrolet. Only challenged, um 'special', (yea that's the word) people need a MAC.

Home-built, ranging from a Cyrix 150 and near-twin K5-133, both running Win95, to an Athlon 1000 with XP Pro, and several that fall between. Nothing great and wonderful. Play with Linux sometimes, Redhat 6.2 on two old file servers, Mandrake 9.0 on a dual Pentium Pro 166.

How many businesses use Macs? I seem to recall that they are liked for certain applications. I think the only time I have seen one in use was in a dentist's office.
