Re: Windows versus Mac
Apple and Linux OSes are much more convenient for people who do a lot of programming, but I personally use windows because so many of the applications I use are designed for, or only run, on windows.

Talk to 1114 and (*correction*) 2834, they collect world competition data and compile it into a huge spread sheet every year. You may want to work with them in collecting data.
