Yeah, I don't get stuff, unless I already paid for the program and it's CD has gone bad (I don't pay for things twice) or if the game is no longer available.
I also can never find the sites, so it doesn't really matter.

Nothing beats
What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Re: Your computer!
I've just got myself an Acer Aspire One netbook. Have no real need for one, but since my home PC died my laptop has been standing in for it, and its nice to be able to work and browse from my bed while my laptop sits on my desk.
And since my laptop is now on virtually 24 hours a day, I reckon its gonna blow soon, so I need a back up. I really do get horrid withdrawl when I can't get online.
In reality though, I wanted one because they are cute.

Re: Your computer!
For now, my palm serves my mobile web needs. I'm naturally somewhat limited in what I can do with it, but it's enough to do the basic stuff (and reads my ebooks).kostmayer wrote:I've just got myself an Acer Aspire One netbook.

I'm just glad that I've already taken care of all of my real needs over the summer. The timing was great, in light of recent economic news (and the fact that my online work has dried up recently as a consequence) and I was not only able to get $1500 or so of new stuff/upgrades but also the "insurance" afforded by having all new equipment. Now I have the freedom to save what I need to and spend judiciously on whatever "wants" I can afford.

Re: Your computer!
Yeah, I've an XDA which in theory allows me to browse from anywhere, but the size of the screen means its not much good for anything other then picking up emails, and reading (or editing at a pinch) office documents. And reading ebooks
The main think I like about my netbook is that I can fire it up and be online with a fully functional PC in under a minute. That, and the fact they're small and cheap means that the computer is becoming more like an appliance. These things really are that small that you can have one lying about on a coffee table or next to your bed and just fire it up when needed.

Re: Your computer!
We have several computers throughout the house. We had an acer at one point, but the acer power management system screwed the systems over, and made it alot slower. so...we...ah...tried to remove it. and took vital programming with it.

Re: Your computer!
I have an Acer 19' LCD monitor. Have had no problems with it yet, it's been quite an improvement over the old CRT I had.
