Wow. People sure do waste there money on too many PCs.
I actually own none. My PS3 is the closest thing I own to a PC. My mother owns a rubbish Windows desktop. I am close to getting a MacBook. I've long wanted a Mac and with a MacBook I can bring one where ever I go.

Depends I suppose but it looks like almost everyone here.
It seems a lot of people aren't considering Macs as PCs when they are. For some reason the acrynom PC seems to have lost it's real meaning over time.

A PC really stands for Personal Computer. A Mac is a Personal Computer for sure as was even the Commodore 64, Atari ST, Amiga, ETC.
Over the years some have used PC to indicate a Windows machine. To me though a PC will always be a personal computer.

Only need one computer when one owns a Mac Pro.
My iPhone is my mobile device and my PS3 is my gaming rig- no need for a laptop or a Win box.

aside from a lack of portability, they're an expensive choice of file server or application server

Could a Wii be classified as a PC?
Well apart from that I have 2 imacs at home now and that's all. All my old computers went to a mac collector I know.
