Default Apple Computers: am I the ONLY user here? *twitches* (o.0)

Wow, i feel all alone, am I stuck with PC users, or are there others out there? Ok on to the topic so I dont get moderated (lol):

Our systems:
PowerMac G5 DP 2.5 GHz
8 GBs RAM
Presently: NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL
Ordered: ATI Raedon X8000
30" screen, 23" screen
LaCie 16x DVD±RW (w/ Lightscribe)
800GBs HDD internal
LaCie Bigger Disk Extreme 1.0TB (over FW800)
Airport Extreme w/ some random omnidirectional antenna that came from who-knows-where
Bluetooth 2.0 dongle installed inside (i got instructions here somewhere, i'll get their URL later)
/\ Main Editing Computer /\

PowerBook 17" Generation the-one-right-before-the-one-were-on-now 1.5 GHz SP
2 GBs RAM
Airport Extreme
Bluetooth 1.2 (apple branded)
60GB 7200RPM Hitachi internal HDD (I chose speed over size)
/\ Traveling Presentation Machine / Backup Editing Machine (-: /\

Others:
* eMac w/ 2GBs RAM (for accounting, and burning when we need ltsa drives)
* Mini Mac w/ 1 GB RAM and overclocked to 1.58 GHz, 23" screen (temporarily at my partner's house for when he needs to edit at home, soon to become the brains of our heaven-on-wheels setup (-:[ [the brawn is a Subaru Outback, to be jacked up and put on 23" tires, probably going to something about the atrocious sound system too (-: ] )
* iMac G5 'nother backup editor, burner, and sometimes we rent it out to customers wanting to do a part of a project themselves until they get stumped and we take it over (-:{ )
* Old PowerBook 12" 1st generation G4 that got smashed 3 times with a hammer and drop-kicked out a second stroy window - we use this as our punching bag whenever something isnt encoding correctly or a computer crashes and we forgot to save )-:] )

Other equipment:
2x Canon GL2 w/ lens sets for both and XLR adapters for both
Optura Xi - for no particular reason, kind of incase we need 3 camers or summat
2x CitiDISK DV - the greatest thing since sliced videotape!

3x REALY CR*PPY TRIPODS (want ta mail us better ones? /-: )
Soon to have: ComposerMAX

You don't get any pathetic apple/pc rivalry in here. Just gentle ribbing occasionally

Ah, don't take it too badly. At least you didn't ask about interlacing. THEN you'd have seen flaming.
