I was just wondering what kind of computer or computers everybody uses on this board?

I bought a Hewlett-Packard Pavillion s3123w slimline with a DVD burner a few weeks ago.

I also have a Dell Dimension 4550 which I bought from a co-worker about four years ago.

I also have a Hewlett-Packard Pavillion 7940 which I bought from Staples about six or seven years ago :-/  I am not sure what I am going to do with it because I am going to use the Dell as a back up and also to make copies of music CD's.


My very first computer was a Packard Bell which turned out to be a piece of junk :o  Every time I tried to upgrade it nothing wanted to work with it so I just gave it away and bought another CPU.

Gateway AMD Turion 64 notebook. 1 year old.  8-)

But most of the time, I visit LongLocks from the Dell desktop at work. I have no idea what model it is, but it's not more than a few years old.

I used to surf the internet at work but now they have cracked down on it and I only read the local newspaper during my second break.

I've been using the same eMachines flat screen computer for about 4 years now.  It was working great but  now it has a virus (or at least I think it does, it's no longer acting up :-?) so I'll be getting a new one shortly.  My husband works for IBM, so I'll most likely be getting one of those.

The computer I had before this one was a laptop, I think a Dell but I don't remember, it was through my husbands job.  The very first computer I ever bought was a Gateway.  That computer crashed and I lost everything on it, I was very devastated.

Lets see... I've got a god knows what mix going here.  I think it has an Azues Mother board, it has a DVD drive, a Zip drive, flatscreen... mostly LG parts.  It runs windows 98.  Then I have an IBM Think pad that runs wndows 95.  A HP printer, scanner, photocopier thingy.

Yick. I can't stand newspapers. Only good things about 'em are classifieds, comics, Sunday coupons and sale ads...and free samples.  ;D

Most of my co-workers are aware that I surf the web and nobody cares. My position has a lot of down time which allows for it. 2 years ago, I read the entire Sherlock Holmes Canon and most of that was during slow periods at work.
   Besides, it's not like I'm doing anything inappropriate. If someone has a problem with it, they're welcome to tell me. But until that happens, I'll use the time as I wish.  ;)

I have 10 computers that all do different tasks. The fastest is a 3GHZ dell with 1G memory I scored for free that had bad capacitors on the main board.

A 1.7GHZ IBM runs server 2003 and my survailance system. A 333MHZ, PII runs my weather station which communicates to a simple 486 conected to weather monitoring equipment. I have a G4 Mac I haven't a clue as to how to use, a print server, A 1.4 GHZ AMD home boult running paint software, ect. You get the idea.


And a partridge in a pear tree, Yep, a 233MHZ Pentium that runs the Christmas display.


2 Dell, 1 HP, 4 home brewed from parts, 1 Mac, 1 Gateway, 1 IBM server with SCSI disk array. This does not include my laptops.

We can't surf for pleasure, either. Many sites are blocked and all activity is monitored.

Showing my age here. My first experience with a computer was in 1974 with a 110 baud teletype. You dialed a number with a phone and listened for the tone. Then, you stuck it in rubber ears..

My first home computer was in 1981. It was a Timex Sinclair 1000, a Z80 CPU with 2K (not meg, but K) of memory. I later built an expansion board that upgraded to 16K and a serial port. I used it to run a model railroad.

My first experience with computers was way back in high school about the year 1981.

If I remember right they were IBM's?

There were no mice (Hm, when did the first mouse come out anyway?) so everything was done on the keyboard ::)


Then, my second expereince with computers was the Apple which did have the mouse and I think it had the earliest version of their windows and the DOS program which was in the year 1985 or 1986.

I bought my very own first computer back in about 1997 which as I have said before was a Packard-Bell (which turned out to be a Packard-Hell).  It cost me about $1,700 which I bought at Montgomery Ward and I put it on my Montgomery Ward credit card :o  The hard drive was a huge whopping 500 MB :o

And now the new Hewlett-Packard is my/our 5th. computer so far.
