Another interesting poll might be "What OS are you using?" I use OS 9.2.2 & Panther on desktop & Tiger on laptop.
Well I'm curious enough to ask ... so what does keep your *mac* running?

How come this isn't a real poll? dntknw.gif

pre-9
9.x
10.1
10.2
10.3
10.4
10.5...

Never mind, when you ( I ) commdn-click on the little "Go to the first Unread Post" button, it doesn't show the actual poll listing. wallbash.gif All I saw was people writing about what they used/had...

eMac 1.25 GHz with 10.3.9, but have seriously considered upgrading in the next two weeks. Several programs I want to try require 10.4.

I'd still be using 8.1 if I had'nt  gotten an OS9.1 disc for a very good price. Right now, I don't see any reason to switch to X. If my hardware fails, I'll do it then... But, I've already replaced the hard drive. It would have to be some of the other "innards" going bad to push me into this century.

As soon as I saw one vote for "Other" appear I just KNEW who it was  biggrin.gif

For my my part it's 10.4 on the desktop, Ubuntu on the SWMBO's laptop (she asked me to take XP off again and put back Ubuntu) and XP on my laptop (hopefully back to Ubuntu soon) smile.gif

Harv, how does the Lombard do with Panther? It's the only machine we have left that isn't running X, though nobody uses it most of the time!

Me also. I knew Epaminondas wouldn't let me down. smile.gif

Sneakers is going to install Ubuntu on his Walgreen's special computer - as soon as Paul finishes whatever he's doing with it. It's a project they cooked up and I stay out of it. tongue.gif

Paddy, my Mom's Lombard has 10.3.9 on it and it's OK for running email, browsers, text apps, etc. Her's is only a 333 Mhz and has only 256 ram so it is on the edge of official support. Of course Mom isn't looking for a high speed experience.

I thought that you'd gone back to XP as you needed a Cobol Compiler dry.gif

Heh.

I never in my life "went back" to XP........biggrin.gif

Just am still forced to use it in certain applications of school work.

If I could've found a COBOL compiler for Ubuntu, I wouldn't use XP at all.

Partition stays there just for when I absolutely have to use it.

Take care, sandy.
