salad comes with good lube though.

I managed to buy myself a Celeron 1.1ghz box with 256 MB of RAM recently and installed Debian Etch with XFCE on it.

What about connections?

We were lucky enough to get NBN (National Broadband Network) early compared to many people in our area. It's fibre to the premises and it is great. Kayleigh can download an average tv episode in 6 minutes.

We have fibre, too. Finally got it last summer.

Good isn't it?

How did it change from what you had before?

Even using Wi-Fi, the speed is excellent. Just the thing for an impatient person!

When people use the word fibre, I always assume they are constipated.  :zoinks:

  I have one computer, a desktop.  Windows Vista.  Owned it since 2008 or 2009.  :tard:

I have one non-working HP Pavillion with Windows XP.

One working Dell...something. With Windows 2000.

One working Dell Latitude with broken screen. Windows 7, very happy with it.

An iPad Air. The sturdiest computer I've ever owned. It really takes hits when I get frustrated with it.

My mobile I would consider a computer.

I want another laptop as a spare...just a cheap one I suppose. They all seem to stop working in the end. Might get a refurbished business laptop as they're a lot sturdier and seem to last longer.

We had VDSL before. Good but the bandwidth was poor. The kids streaming when I had a Skype conference was a no-no. Money well spent.

The oldest computer I have left is an Amiga 500 in mint condition. Almost as old is a 386 laptop with an LCD B/W screen. I don't want to get rid of either of them.

They only count if they work.

3 laptops (one ancient for dos games), 1 notebook, 2 desktops, and the behemoth in the kid's room for gaming.

We've cut down. :M
