Well, I had an opportunity to get a Mac at work, so I did.  I tried to
use it, but found it incredibly frustrating -- in fairness, much of that
was likely because most of the time I actually *needed* to use it was
because my (then-)manager wanted me to do something with a Microsoft
application.  (My relationship with Microsoft might charitably be
characterized as "very hostile.")

And I find the various Linux distributions to which I've been exposed
annoying (though mostly in other ways).

So I do all of my real work on my FreeBSD desktop or FreeBSD laptop.

(And no, I don't pretend to be representative of any population.)

Peace,
