Hey, I'm just curious, what kind of computer do you have?

My computer:

• Model: 600 Mhz G3 iMac (Snow)
• RAM: 640MB
• Hard-Drive Capacity: 40GB
• Graphics Card: ATI Rage 128 Pro 16MB
• Operating System: Mac OS X (10.3) 'Panther'

I primarily use my computer to:

• Type up my homework (using AppleWorks)
• Browse the internet (ISP: AOL, Browser: Safari)
• Listen to music (Using iTunes)
• Connect my iPod (Using iTunes)
• Talk to people over the internet (Using MSN Messenger)

My computer isn't extremely powerful, however it does everything I require of it remarkably well. I purchased it in January 2003, and I haven't had a problem with it. In May of that year I bought a 512 MB module of RAM to increase the total to 640 MB.

What's your computer like?

The computer i use for internet is a iMac which is a great computer but my actually computer is a Daewoo which i got at a Comet Auction and really would have been all right but i had to add stuff (monitor, 2 sound cards, 2 graphics cards, USB 2.0 card, RAM, remove modem, DVD-drive, CD-RW drive and lots of external stuff) which means its crappy slow now

[Shaun]

Do you have a CRT iMac or a LCD iMac?

[Dave]

it's the old G3 with the CRT monitor but would like the new G4, its cool,(and expensive)

[Martin]

[Dave]

the problem with those think of things is the amount of interest you pay before paying it off not to mention the years and years you are paying £15 a month.

Cos it wouldn't be for me anyway i don't even have a job!

[Shaun]

I agree. And the time your finished paying it your machine could be quite old anyway!

I think the G4 LCD iMac's will be coming even further down in price soon, they are apparently meant to be getting updated with the new G5 processor....this is a rumor however!

Holy topic bumping Batman!

Other topic: http://www.hsn.uk.net/forum/index.php?show...2528&hl=Firefox

Been using Firefox through the "Phoenix" and "FireBird" days.

I only ever use IE to check website designs I create to ensure they work and appeal to the masses.
