especially on this page of the forum we are all very into the hardware of our coffeegeekness my guess is that a large number of us use Apple computers, iPods and maybe even iPhones! this is a bit off topic but on a more serious note it is interesting to find out what kind of person becomes/is a coffeegeek.
-what kind of computer do you own? -what kind of espresso machine do you own?
I'll start this off by saying that I have a Apple laptop, Powerbook and an Apple desktop G5 workstation. On the coffee front I have a Giotto Premium (and a Mazzer Mini E v. B grinder)
thanks,
alexander Mod note- moved to the off topics forum.

I don't see what this has got anything todo with coffee.
I even have an argument of coffeegeeks againsts Apple computers.
As someone who likes tinker-toys I speak for Linux PCs. If I wanted an Apple, I'd probably be somone who wants things to work out of the box, so I would need to have a super-auto espresso machine.
Anyways, dual-processor Xeon at work (Linux), OQO02 (XP Tablet/Linux) for the rest of time, Linux file server (1.5TB total) for my home audio/video. And yes, I own several Apple Airport Express for Airtunes wireless audio.
To speak for my hypothesis of Coffeegeek/TinkerToys vs. Apple/Non-Tinkerer: My wife has 2 Apple computers (PowerBook and DualG5) and eventhough she loves my Cappuccino and can tell good from bad coffee, if I don't make coffee for her, she'll drink instant coffee, cuz she likes things that just work without much effort. She says her work gives her enough puzzles (she's researcher in Genetics).
