==Gotta have an Apple==
Brown purchased a [[Mac Classic]] in 1991 and is fond of [[Macintosh computer]]s. He likes to use [[Sherlock]] (a Macintosh search feature) to help find information on the [[Internet]] using his [[iBook]].
''I've got the Special Edition graphite, which is perfect for me, and it cost $1,700. I could spend almost four grand for a full-blown PowerBook, but to tell you the truth, I don't need that. And I like the fact that the iBook's got a handle on it -- I can toss it around; it's extremely durable physically. It's got a great screen, I don't need a floppy drive, it's got CD-ROM, and I'm a huge USB fan.''<ref> {{cite web | url = http://www.macworld.com/article/1994/2001/03/buzzbrown.html | title = Add Apples for Flavor | accessdate = 2011-05-13}}</ref>

He's a strong proponent of motorcycle safety and regularly attends [[Motorcycle Safety Foundation]] classes. When riding his BMW, he wears full protective gear including a helmet, ballistic jacket, pants, boots and rding gloves.
