Here's what I'm using now. I'd like to make the transition to Linux. It doesn't have to be Ubuntu.

	iMac (2 yrs old): primary work machine; OS X 10.6 / Windows 7 dual boot
	* I keep Windows around because I run mapping software that only works on that operating system
	* I'm working hard to transition to 100% open source mapping/GIS software so I can ditch Windows
	* I spin up Ubuntu VMs when I need them
	Macbook (3.75 yrs old): kid/music/entertainment machine, traveling work machine; OS X 10.6
	* Lately I've been using this for work-related tasks during the day (when I'm coworking); family stuff at night
	* I spin up Ubuntu VMs when I need them, but they feel painfully slow

	I also have an old Dell around that is semi-functional.
