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  Every time I tried to upgrade it nothing wanted to work with it so I just gave it away and bought another CPU.

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.

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.

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.

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  The hard drive was a huge whopping 500 MB

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