But I also can't type it without having to correct my spelling at least 5 times. Darren - Welcome then :) Gotta love del.icio.us for helping us find all sorts of random blogs! Pearl - More than fair points on why you're using a PC instead, and that's why I don't think <em>everyone</em> needs to be in the same camp, it's really whatever works for each one of us! And as for using Windows on a Mac, I much prefer Parallels to Bootcamp, as it allows you to run the Windows apps without rebooting (much better for browser testing websites!)

Which sort of leads into choice... more choices for software and for hardware, since some many more people develop for a PC verus Mac. For example, I've got a mini tablet PC that runs Windows XP Tablet Edition. And while I love to bash Microsoft as much as the next guy, this baby's got *wicked* handwriting recognition. (I'm pretty sure Apple hasn't gotten into the tablet market yet?) But times are a changing, especially since MacBooks are getting cheaper and some Macs ship with Bootcamp now....

I like the UK version of the pie-chart Mac vs PC add better than the US one, because you don't hear 'shenanigans' on TV enough these days.
