Re: What's your computer?

It's a machine that enables me to write without corretion fluid, print letters in colour, use the internet and log on to the forum

1 brand new HP centrino laptop, 1 old banged up Compaq laptop for storage and a Dell desktop to use up every square inch of my former dining table

Your geek mode satisfied

Crazed Re: What's your computer?

A bitsa on a Mesh frame with an ancient Athlon 900 processor. The graphics card is so crap I'm even using a 600*800 display otherwise the screen flickers
But I've got a Microsoft Elite keyboard with Bluetooth

A bit like fitting a straight cut racing box in an Arna!

Re: What's your computer?

Curently running on IBM laptop, but the next one has to be a powerbook. I think I fall in love in mac design and the ease of use of it.

Re: What's your computer?

I've got 4 desktops at home - 2 for my kids, 1 for my wife and my own (pic below) all I built myself - it is very easy once you've done one !

Also use an old IBM P3 machine linked to my hifi to play all my mp3's

Re: What's your computer?

For AO, it would be the one at work (IBM ThinkCentre).


At home, I have an old Advent (PC World special ), running a 450MHz Intel Pentium III, and a hand-built PC running a 1.7GHz Intel Celeron (components from Dabs.com).

Oh yes, I also have an ancient Fujitsu laptop running a Pentium I , and an Apple Mac LC475.

Re: What's your computer?

Never use anything other than a Pentium. Still the most reliable non Mac processor there is. I blooody hate Bill Gates and Microsoft and anything PC but I can't afford a forking Mac so build my own PC's making sure I select the best there is and never pay for anything with the Microsoft label.

LONG LIVE PIRATING!!!!!!!!!! Booooo to Bill Gates!!!!!!

Re: What's your computer?

Erm... you need to take one off the mac list and add it to the AMD from a shop list. I had a slight clicking error.
