Post by paulparker »

Today, there are many computer brands in the market, upgrading every now and then. The question is, out of the many brands available, what is your favorite? For me, Mac computers.....

Brand depends on the use I am intending to put it to and the form factor.

Laptop: Apple
Desktop: Self-built system all the way

Then we get into the tricky thing about OS:

OS - FreeBSD used to be my favorite. These days I mostly use Darwin OS / OS X. I'm a huge UNIX and open source geek at the end of the day. I avoid Windows for everything but some gaming and when I'm forced into it. Otherwise I use Gentoo Linux for my server systems.

You have my alarm bells ringing; this is a bit of a weird first post... and the content of your profile doesn't fill me with confidence either. So... I'll give you 24 hours to remove the advertising from your profile and prove you're not a spammer/spambot... let us know a bit about you and the puzzles you're interested in.

Ahhh :( He's a spammer, but chatting about what computers people like or use sounded like fun. Phooey. This is what I get for not paying more attention in the middle of the night.
