Or shut my whole system down in the middle of the night without my
permission, losing anything I may have left unsaved. Fun times, fun times.

I guess that makes me pan-OS. :-)

Let's see: at home I/we have two dual-boot Ubuntu/XP machines (the kid
also has a dual-boot Ubuntu/Vista (ptui!) box); an iMac; an iPad; an
iPod Touch; an eeePC running Ubuntu; and an XP box. At work, I use the
latest iMac, but if I choose (I rarely do), I can run Parallels on that
machine and do Windows-y stuff.

And somewhere around here, I think we have a machine James is going to
put tinyLinux on, and use it as a music server or something.

ObFood: I may set up a webserver for my brand-new food blog, which
should be ready to launch in a week or so.
