Alright we're going to talk computers here.

To be more specific operating systems.

Which one are you?
The whole Microsoft thing?
Mac OSX?
Linux platform?

I use whatever suits the purpose. Vista/XP for work/development. OS X for video/music/development. Linux for open source apps/development.

I have at least half a dozen notebooks at home, some running VMware, so I'm using at list half a dozen OSes.

Switched to Mac OS at christmas and it is much better than Vista.

It can do everything that a windows OS can do plus a lot more! Also there are a few really simple things that it does that are very good! Eg just highlighting text and dragging it from a webpage into where-ever you want it!
Golf is a game whose aim is to hit a very small ball into an even smaller hole, with weapons singularly ill-designed for the purpose.

For heavy use big time applications, either Z-OS (what used to be OS390) or Unix. For web hosting, Linux, for desktops Windows, for graphics either Unix or MacOS

These days, a mac can take care of just about every computing need - It is a unix OS with all command line fu and config/make/install geekery you could possibly want, it will run windows flawlessly via bootcamp or virtualization. You can install linux on a partition, or in a virtual machine or even OS/2 and Solaris x86 if you are into that

If you run X11 you can use all the gui open source apps natively...

I'm about 50/50 between Windows and Linux (Ubuntu). I'm in the process of converting to a higher percentage Ubuntu, but I've been lazy with setting up some details of it. Maybe after this paper deadline.

I have Windows machines all around me at work and home, suits my needs pretty good. If I was more in to doing video, I believe I would prefer to have a Mac. But for my audio/graphics needs these Windows machines handle it pretty well.

Hmm....For the Z-OS and Unix, I didn't mean for personal use. I meant to support thousands of users, say a 50 TB Oracle Application.

Microsoft Windows here. Just because that's what I've always used. The crashes and bugs really interest me too!
XP at work
Vista at home

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
