Alright we're going to talk computers here.

To be more specific operating systems.

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.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

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 what use?

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.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By Zeph ·

      First (12 holes) round in a year, maybe the third round in five years. After prioritizing family for a long time, I’m ready to play more golf. We moved back where I grew up and started playing golf. The course is close, but only six holes and pretty short, so the longest club I bring is a 4i. It is very undulated, with a lot of elevation changes and 4/6 greens are blind shots. The long game was relatively good (relative to my game and swing). Got things to work on, but the current state is manageable. One OB. Wedges and short game was atrocious. Chunking like I was making a garden. On the worst hole I chunked a 58° approach, then chunked three chips in a row… Time to search up some chipping topics and start practicing. I’ll take this over bad long game and good short game. The short game is easier to fix. Shot a net +17(!), gross +23, over 12 holes.

      My Favorite Putts

      By DrizZzY ·

      I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Darkfrog ·

      Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
