well that depends which computer.

My laptop (mac) is used for music, portability, just about all of my writing and programming

My desktop (linux) is used for movies, some music, games, games, games, internet, and games

And the desktop is not so much for music anymore since i've discovered that this little iBook puts out a HELL of a lot of power through my speakers. (And gives a nice foot massage through this woofer!!)



Both kick ass.
