iMac and anything cute and expensive makes a great gift for a woman.

iMACs are very nice but I simply don't need one. The software I want to use runs fine on PCs. I'd sell it and put the money towards something else - perhaps a nice weekend away or something (I bet most women would prefer that over a machine).

I'd keep it for playing around with, unfortunately there's no such option in the poll.

I like playing around with new stuff, and I havent gotten a chance to use OS-X for real yet.

I'd keep it so I'd have a legitimate reason to pick up an iPod!

Seti wouldn't hurt as well ;)

None of my activities really fall under the Poll's options... oh well

Didn't see an option that fit for me. I would keep it as a second or third system to tool around with. I don't consider any different than keeping a Linux box around as a hobby.

an IMac I would definitely sell. However, you give me one of the new dual proc g4, I'll probably keep it...nah...what the hell would I use it for..I'd sell it too. I only need one computer, and I like having windows on my computer too much to get rid of it and use I dunno those Ti laptops are cool tho...


incoherence....need to go to sleep...kind of hard, seeing as how I woke up at 3 p.m. It's now 5 a.m....

You forgot...

"I'd keep it and learn some new things I never knew."

Because that is what I woud do with it. I don't know everything about OS X so I would keep it and learn everything about it that I could.
