This is a poll where you vote, not a physical pole like a telephone pole.
 
I'm platform agnostic.

They all have benefits and negatives, it all comes down to how you intend to use a system.

This is an answer, but not the one you wanted: who cares? What does party affiliation have to do with OS preference, and why the failure to mention other OS's, and other parties?
 
Macs should all be dismantled and the parts used to build good computers. I have to fight Macs (Macbook Pros) at church and they are all 100% pure garbage, not to mention expensive. Their UI sucks, their performance is horrible, one of them won't wake up when it Sleep and the other takes so long to boot, that I've gotten into the habit of turning it on and vacuuming the kid's area while I wait (those are some CLEAN carpets). Given the vastly better performance vs cost difference between a Mac and a PC, I simply can't for the life of me understand why anyone would buy a Mac.
 
Other: I'm a Republican and I prefer Linux. :mrgreen:
(Always has to be one in every bunch)

I've got one PC (which I'm using now) and we also own two Apple computers (which my wife uses). We've got one iPhone (which I use) and one Android phone (which my wife uses).

I guess that means we're both bi-textual....

I'm mainly just curious if there is a correlation or not. Who knows, there might be. And much like politics, other parties (green party, etc.) and OS's (linux), don't matter compared to the big 2.

:lol: Love that.
 
Not sure how to answer the question.

My husband and I both have iPhones.

My daughter has an Android.

My husband, my daughter and myself all have iPads.

My husband, my daughter and myself all have Windows-based laptops.
 
independent. i like both, but prefer Apple, at least the model that i have. they removed the USB ports from the new ones, so that would be a real pain in the ass. they also got rid of magsafe, which was also a bad decision, IMO.

Microsoft has an equal litany of bad decisions in their product lines as well, so they're about even on that count as well.
 
So apparently who gives a rat's ass about independents, libertarians, greens, unaffiliated...????

Also, who cares about Linux?

Worst poll I've seen in a while.

no argument there. luckily, i bought my MacBook Pro in 2014, so it has the ports. might pay for a refurbish next year to keep it going long term.

I didn't want to have like 10 different options where the votes are all spread out. I was hoping people would just choose an option that they feel is closest to them. Apparently my poll-making skills are not as good as my pole-making skills.
 
Oh, really? I thought this was a stripping pole. My bad.

It's okay, I should have clarified better in my OP. It's easy to confuse all the kinds of poles out there.
 
1. Never understood progressives' love for Apple, considering their business practices.

2. Dems/Republicans only? What about independents/other-partiers?

There's a limit to that, and it's the CPU speed. As CPU speeds increase, the software is written with that assumption (be it less efficient or be it more functions / capabilities), the old CPU can't keep up or deliver the crisp performance that the faster CPUs can.

Swapping in solid state drives over platters is a significant gain, as it more faster memory (limited the same way the CPU speed is and what the motherboard can support).

i love the flash drive. i'm not sure why it isn't more prevalent in PCs. even though some programs like Safari get a bit bogged down sometimes, my MacBook Pro still boots up fully in about 12 seconds.

if i do a refurbish, it will mostly be to get a new battery. the old one is still doing fine, but i might as well have a new one put in before something goes wrong and my model isn't supported anymore.
 
They're both fine as long as they're fast and reliable.
