Are you loyal to Tech companies?

Survey period: 8 Oct 2012 to 15 Oct 2012

When buying stuff for yourself, do you tend to stick to one company as much as possible, or do you buy from whoever suits your needs and budget at the time? To put it another way: on the scale of fanboy/girl to careful, pragmatic open-minded consumers, where do you sit?

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
