Hi all,
This question has probably been asked before, but oh well, I'm asking it again lol
What type of computer do you own/have ??
I'll start - I own 3.

1 - 1998 HP (forgot model) 500MHZ 68MB upgraded to 128MB . . . (SLOW . . . )
2 - 2001 Compaq Presario Laptop 955 MHz Intel Celeron Processor (DVD player is crapping out on that one)
3- 2003 Toshiba Satellite Laptop P4 2.4GHZ, 512 MB RAM, etc.

Wow that was a month full

NEXT . . . .

 

Dell PIII @ 550Mhz-128 ram.
had a 1800+ athlon XP, 512 DDR, 24x CDRW, 64 DDR Radeon, but that was a year and a half ago, and lightning got her. Now that baby was fast.

 

Dell P3 800mhz, 384 mb of ram, 100 gigs of memory, 16x cdrw, zip drive, crappy NVIDIA video card. I look at how much computer I can get for so little money now. It makes my eyes water up. I spent around 2500 three years ago for that 'puter.

366 mhz 128 mb ram with a 10 gig hard drive..... jeez I need to buy a new computer

 

I have a black one. It says Dell on it. Does this help? If I knew all those fancy numbers I probably be called a computer nerd. I can safely operate the on/off switch now that I took that 8 week at home course. I don't know if I got my moneys worth yet.

 

...I have a white one, it says Gateway, essential, intel inside, pentium lll, EV700, boston, logitech and microsoft windows 98 on it...
...And it was free....

 

When this question aired on the previous 3 or 4 occasions, I was careful to mention exactly what equipment I use. Now I will not mention the technical attributes of the equipment, just the malevolence that it regularly demonstrates when I use it.

I have one computer, this one, that often waits until I am nearly finished writing something, like a post, then it hangs. It only hangs when writing something, never any other time, like reading, or listening to things, or watching movies...

I have another one, to the left of this one, that waits until I am ready to use it, then it kills its sound ability. When I am not using it, it makes noises, as soon as I get near it, it shuts up.

Then, I have another one, to the right of this one, that is a venerable old full tower.. all of two years made. I have all the memory slots full on all of them, with LAN cards in each, so they can plot together, and really annoy me. Across the room, there is another computer, it sits there, attached to printers and scanners, and doesn't do much. It behaves it's self.

Behind me, sitting by itself on a strong table, is a very large color laser, with duplex printing attachements, and collating bin.. Very nice, can print a full color picture 17" by 11". It usually behaves itself, but the paper doesn't like humidity, so it gets soggy, and jams the poor printer, which then insists on being taken to bits to find the darned paper...

Also lurking in the office, is a scanner, copier, fax printer thing. It is fine, other than when I am sitting quietly reading something, it will decide to squeak at me, and start printing a progress report. Many times it has scared the living daylights out of me. Ah, almost forgot... hiding under a pile of old sermons is an older laser printer - it doesn't do much nowadays, it is semi retired but just potters around with notepad documents every so often. There are a couple of lap tops roaming around somewhere too, but they come and go; apparently at will.

Then of course, there is the combo TV VCR sitting next to my desk, on another sturdy table, and the shredder, lurking, waiting for innocent fingers.........

Another trap to watch out for is the laminater... It waits until the unwary approach, then burns them viciously..

We will not go into the anti social behavior of the electric stapler, or the guillotine, that is too painful a memory.

The only truly benevolent critter in here is my track ball mouse. Never once has it tried to bite me, maim me or otherwise show its evil side. The keyboard often decides to wipe out masses of written stuff, simply because it is not idiot proof.....

I may take a photo of the back of my desk, to demonstrate the mass of wires that wait in tangled mayhem, to grab the unsuspecting and haul them under the desk, to digest... I have no clue how many people got lost under there...
