    Meh, only 3 iPhones.

    Though I will probably get an iPad 3 shortly (assuming 'retina' display) and if they produce a 15" MacBook Air I may have to sell one of my kids.

    'Do you know of anyone that attends a 'Windows users club!' :D

    I am not a fan boy but I have owned ....

    iPod 1g 5gb
    iPod 2g 20gb
    iPod 4g Photo 60GB
    iPod 5g 30GB
    iPod 5g 80GB

    iPhone
    iPhone 3g
    iPhone 3gs
    iPhone 4
    iPhone 4s

    iPad 1
    iPad 2

    Macintosh
    iMac
    Mac Book Pro
    Mac Book Air

    Apple tv 1
    Apple tv 2

    Airport express (btw the worst router I ever bought in my life and 5 times the price)

    Apple MessagePad

    The Pippin

    and I recently bought an Apple Lisa of eBay

    In saying all this, I think that osx is a load of **** and really the only os that apple has ever done anyway decently is iOS.

    If you want functionality, use a PC, if you want style without ergonomics get a Mac. I have been working in IT for almost 12 years and have been using computer for 25 years and the one thing that pissed me off more then anything is total idiots telling me how much better a mac is then a PC.

    The one I hate the most is when they say "Oh mac is so much better for design work / graffic design" Yeah that is total crap. Firstly adobe used to not even make products for the mac, hence the whole flash not on iOS. Secondly for any sort of design work you require a right click and osx makes this one of the most difficult tasks in the world. Thirdly every program made for design starts off on a Windows environment.

    I think the file manager for osx is stupid too.

    With the release of Windows 7, MS has launched themselves so far past OSX, Apple will find it hard to ever catch up. They should stick to what they are good at which is mobile devices.

    And truth be told, I wouldn't buy an iPhone if the made it impossible to jailbreak it. Sure where do you think apple gets all their ideas from, jailbreak apps. The biggest example of this the app store, just a rehash of installer from ios 1.0

    Anyway, sorry for the rant, but felt it must be said.

    Prime candidate for post FAIL of the year !! Photoshop was first developed ONLY for Macintosh. All Macs come with a 3 or more button mouse as standard and Right Click is now standard for all Mac mice. How long have you been in IT then ?! Oh and it's Apple who decided that Flash wouldn't be supported on iOS not Adobe.
