It wouldn't be a proper PCMag interview with out the obligatory "what tech are you packing?" question. Seriously, it's written into our contracts. Seated across from me on a couch in Adam Savage's San Diego hotel suite, I pose the question to him and his cohort Jamie Hyneman, having gotten it on good faith that one MythBuster is a Mac and the other rocks the Windows.

"Which one would you guess?" asks Hyneman.

"Well," I answer, eyeballing Hyneman's button-down/beret combo and Savage's Donnie Darko t-shirt, "if the commercials are any indication..."

"Jamie's Hodgeman and I'm Justin Long," laughs Savage. "Absolutely. I've had PowerBooks and MacBooks since 1993. I'm a dedicated Mac users. I've got an article coming out in Mac Life next month."

"The primary need that I have for the PC version is CADD and other kinds of programs, explains Hyneman. "Both platforms bug me, though...I'm partial more to a Linux-based platform myself."

"They're still both Model-A Fords," adds Savage.
