Default Computers, their software, and other accoutremonts.

Any PC fans out there? I am, I've had my current one for close to 5 years. I had one previously, but my dad replaced it with this dual-processor beauty. I'm currently working on getting some old DOS games to work with my DOSBox program but it's tough.

So, bottom line, PC rocks and y'all know it. :P

If you're not computing on NeXTStep, you're not computing.

Edit: I also consider usage of a cardboard box to be computer usage.

Default Unix

AT&T System V Release 2.5 is real computing ( paging Unix! Wooo hoo! )

Edit: I also consider 2 tin cans and a string to be telecommunications

Good old NeXTSTEP. I actually have a slab, for anyone who knows about those. If only I could get some of the startup disks to get the old thing working again.

The Skulltrail D5400XS just became available - Falcon Northwest is offering systems based on it. Talk about drooling!

I can't afford such things, but the possibilities of a dual-quad with quad-sli setup makes me very happy. /twitch /twitch

My Alizée-Appreciation-System, aka my PC, recently aquired a new 24 inch LCD widescreen. I'm enjoying it immensely while I save up for a full internal overhaul (gotta update to the most recent socket type, so will need to update most other things too. /grumble)

Cool

Spare no expense for Lili, huh Cooney? Designing the new Alizee 5000 computing system? And I thought my 19" Sony screen was bad ass when I got it on sale.

One question, do you have your PC set up for gaming?

All that I know is the more operating systems I use, the more irritated I get at all of them.

You know, Windows XP (Vista? Gag.) is easier than Linux, Linux is more powerful than Mac, Mac is more stable than Windows and Linux. Sigh.

But heck, if Alizée wrote an operating system, I'd use it.

Talking Liliware

It would be nice to know what she's using. She could sell a ton of software just because she's using it.

PCs are teh winz when it comes to gaming. Seriously though, I prefer them over consoles because of the mod community. Gaming on consoles is great, but I've been gaming on pcs before windows ever existed.
