Inspired by Paul Thurrott's article, "<a href="http://www.winsupersite.com/paul/whatiuse.asp" target="_blank">What I Use</a>," I dedided to do my own blog post... so without further adu...

<strong>Servers</strong>

I actually do not use servers in my home environment.  I probably could but I really don't need one.  If I did, I like the new HP MediaSmart Servers because they are Mac friendly.

<strong>Computers</strong>

I have only a couple of computers which I use consistently.  (I have several vintage computers that I have because I like them including an Apple IIgs and a Texas Instruments TI-99/4a).
<ul>
	<li><a href="http://mmolenda.com/blog/?p=163" target="_blank">Apple iMac</a> (mid 2008 model).  This is my main computer.  This is where the majority of my "work" is done.  Although, my music collection and photos are duplicated on my MacBook just in case I need to use them on the road.  I bought this just late last year.  I sync my iPod with this machine.</li>
	<li>Apple MacBook (early 2006 model).  This is my road warrior computer.  I take whenever I travel and to work or when I want to use a computer while on the couch or in bed.   I sync my iPod Touch with this machine.</li>
	<li>Dell Dimension 4500 (P4 2.0GHz model).  This computer is pretty old.  I recently added it to my home theater setup.  I want to use it for watching internet video content and maybe older games like the Sims 2 on the television.</li>
</ul>
<strong>Portable Devices</strong>
<ul>
	<li>Apple iPod (5th Generation).  This iPod is my mail iPod as it has all of my music collection on it.  It is what I listen to my podcasts on and take to the gym when I don't use the iPod Touch.</li>
	<li>Apple iPod Touch (2nd Generation).  This is more than just a music player for me.  It is an internet connected device that I use when I can get wi-fi and also play games on.</li>
	<li>LG enV(2).  No iPhone?  That's corrct.  Whenever Apple makes a version that works on the Verizon network, then, I will get one.  The enV(2) is a very good phone, however.  It has a full QWERTY keyboard which makes texting a breeze.  It can play videos and movies as well.  (I put Stripes on it, just because I could).</li>
	<li>Canon Powershot A610.  It is a couple of years old and a bit damaged by accident, but it still makes great indoor shots and outdoor shots when there is ample light.  It makes VGA videos as well.  Some of these have been uploaded to my MySpace accont.</li>
</ul>
<strong>Home Technology</strong>
<ul>
	<li>AT&amp;T DSL Extreme 3.0 ... Well, it's not the fastest internet but I can download my podcasts and videos fairly efficiently and watch streaming video.</li>
	<li>AppleTV.  I use this less these days as the PS3 and Xbox360 can play most all content that I have.  It is a very easy to setup device and is very easy to use for novices and tech-heads alike.</li>
	<li>Toshiba HD-DVD model A2.  HD-DVD is a dead format but I have about 15 movies on HD-DVD and it is a very good DVD upconverter.</li>
	<li>Sony PlayStation 3.  Use as a Blu-ray disc movie player and using some software on my Mac, I can stream or copy this content to the PS3 my entertainment pleasure.</li>
</ul>
<strong>PC Software (well, Apple Software)</strong>
