The former. I do not own any non-Classic computers and never will.
I do not use any non-Classic operating systems and never will.
RE: people who use classic computers as their primary

those of you on the list who work for computer museums -- I'm very curious how
many of you exist.
I think, therefore I exist. Cogito ergo sum.
And, do you use classic computers by 1.) choice, 2.)
lack
of budget, or 3.) technological need (that is, legacy connectivity)...?
1.
But in day-to-day
'real life', I can't fathom using anything other than a modern system
running
some equally modern version of Unix or Windows.
The fact that you can't fathom it signifies nothing but a limitation of your
imagination. It is possible and I am the living proof. I believe our Prof.
Tony Duell is the same way.
but how do you handle it in the real world
Define "real world". My reality is different from yours.
where people may tell you "Sorry, our company
only does business in
Microsoft"...?
I don't do any business with companies other than to shoot them.
I'm a Marxist-Leninist Communist revolutionary.
