Quite a few around the control room at JPL.

Oh wait, the trolls say Macs are only for graphics!

US tax payers can be happy their money is buying some nice toys.

Riiiight.

Because magically, the Mac is exempt from cost-cutting at NASA.

LOL

So you're saying there isn't a lot of Macs at the JPL?

Sounds to me that the mac is exempt from the budget cuts. OTW, they can purchase them.

Exactly! I wonder how many posters here have a Mac through their employer or because they make a living supporting and/or selling Macs?

I've been retired for quite some time. I've had a few macs in the past with no real regrets... now I have an HP with Win7. For what I wanted it cost me a bit more for this HP than an iMac, but it also gives me more latitude on what I can run on it.
