I use both Mac and Windows and must give a firm win to Adium. Beautifully executed, a pleasure to use all the way around.

As a result of an injury 11 years ago, I began using left handed pointers. The injury is long healed but now I find mousing right-handed to be slow and inefficient, because my left hand does nothing while that is happening. I customarily keyboard with my right while mousing with my left.

Geez, all of this can be done right within iTunes, FooBar2000 or any number of free applications.

While I cannot go into a hospital right now and check the gear, I would be very surprised if the equipment was not CE certified. The CE standards dictate both RF emissions and resistance to emissions - and by the way, the U.S. does not have such standards, these are European.

I am amazed that T-Mobile actually does business in this realm, but then most places aren't like my hometown.

We develop for Windows, so I am stuck here at work with XP - Vista is too problematic for our IT to support. XP is what it always has been - kinda slow, errors at every shutdown, reinstalled every 6 months, the usual. It works, more or less. XP is like a 5 year-old GM car; low on thrills or aesthetics, but it gets you…

Good lord - with over 21,000 tracks/movies/podcasts, etc., it is difficult to see what value there is in looking at it all in one lump...

I use Skype on both Windows and Mac for international phone conferences several times a week, but on my Intel iMac it is far better than my poor quality Dell laptop (Inspiron 8600).

For cryin' out loud, Safari for Windows is a BETA product. If I hear one more moan about security issues in it, I think I will scream. Let Apple finish it before leveling such criticism. Ditto for any other pre-release product.

Funny - I use FF on Windows (I never use IE7 any more - what a waste of code) and while I have 4 browsers on my Macs - Safari, Omniweb, Firefox and Camino - I keep coming back to Safari. So quick, so simple. I am happy to see it migrating to Windows, just as I am almost done migrating AWAY from Windows.

I bring a laptop on vacation for recreational purposes (photos, movies, music). I generally don't give my cell number to work-related people, and so it is also just for family and friends.

I only use Google Desktop on my XP machine because Windows search is beyond pathetic. Otherwise, between Spotlight and Quicksilver on my Macs I really see no need for Google Desktop; it seems utterly redundant.

I have an Intel iMac, and use MS Office 2004. Overall, Office 2004 has some significant issues on Intel Macs:

Oh, gawd, who cares? Who freakin' cares?

As a 48 year old with an engineering degree, here are mine:

Relevant line: I love RCDefaultApp and use it to create custom behaviors for certain files and applications. Works like a charm, especially when combined with Quicksilver.

I just payed my money for SuperDuper and so far so good. It is supremely simple and clear, unlike so many backup solutions I have used (ahem, Retrospect) and provides me with several simultaneous benefits:

I am in the "whazzamattawit iTunes?" camp. I have several other players when I am using Windows XP (Foobar, Winamp, etc etc.) but frankly I would have to be using an extremely wimpy machine to notice the load iTunes 7 places on the system.

I'll need this at work from time to time, but thank goodness that here at home the Windows machines are all gone, with no Vista plans at all. Whew!

Since I almost always must minimize whatever player I use so that I can use the computer, I gave up on more advanced skins and settled for simple when I use Windows. Otherwise, it's my ears and not my eyes that crave the tunes...
