@tea
Yeah; the first computer I used was a Wang (no really) at work .It used DOS and had 8mb of RAM and about 200mb hard drive.
My first home PC was a Pentium 2,with Win .98.I loved Win 98.
Today I have a Dell ,Intel dual core (about 2.80 Ghz I think) 3GB of RAm and a 500Gb hard drive, (my Pentium three had 40,and 256 mb Ram,which i upgraded to 750mb and 120GB) I stuck with XP
I did NOT need this new computer,I just wanted it. Now I'm pissed off because it doesn't have a blu ray burner. It will have to wait.
I like new toys.
QUESTIONS ABOUT BLU RAY BURNERS:
Can you use ordinary DVD's,with 4.7GB (but just use more of them) or do you have to buy special discs and if so how much are they? (I currently pay 40 cents a disc for DVD and 27 cents for CDs,in spindles of 100). |

How the hell do you people remember all this shit about your computers? O_o Mine...um. It's a Dell, and it KINDA works. I got mad at it once, and kicked it and the front plastic panel piece fell off and I've since lost it. It doesn't go to screen saver anymore either. It hasn't in a few years.
I took off the side panel for some reason eons ago, so there's all this dust and pens fall inside it sometimes. Right now I just looked down and there's an old toilet paper tube inside it that one of my cats was playing with this weekend.
I know only one thing about my computer. It's strictly designed by me to meet the following criteria: Under $500 including shipping, Internet works, it plays and stores music . _________________ I bring NOTHING to the table.
