Not much of a challenge, really.

C 64 rules, followed closely by the MAC.

geek reply for the hell of it as i am waiting for the football to start:-

I have 2, this pile of cr@p, which is Dell 800 Centrino-anywhere-u-like-pc running X(spit!)P

and

A sparc laptop running Solaris 9 imported from the far eat designed for weapons programming and military tactical cr@p. It IS a beasty...

but it is not wireless, and Mrs Wolf don't like the cat 5 all over the kitchen so we run a wireless network instead...

Knew you would want to know.

btw:
linux = poormans Solaris, just for the record.
mac = 1986 and all that, even OSX is free bsd in a pc body....

In work at the mo, sitting at my own personal monster, dual P4 Xeon at 2.4 Ghz with 1GB RAM (starting to push that a bit, need some more) running Windows 2003 server.

There isn't a category for 'Mine' in there! Or one that sez, well it's chromy with blue and green neon lights ans see through panels and a little hidey-away draw for extra usb porty gubbins

i have a lovely calculator somewhere....

Oops...sorry. Thought this was a golfing questionnaire. Was planning to get really cross (have you people got nothing better to do etc) and have ended up realising I need to read more carefully.

You better believe it, babe! W00t! My buddy here at home is a "hand-me-down" 400 MHz G4 running OS X 10.2 (Jaguar). Haven't upgraded to Panther yet...

Windows XP Pro for the desktop, Linux for server related stuff.

My current home PC is an AMD 2600+ with a gig of dual channel RAM and all the bells and whistles. It dual boots XP and Mandrake Linux 10 Beta2, but I haven't booted in Linux much as my motherboard's extras are nicely supported yet.

i don't like computers, but they are useful...too bad most of the time they are just more fuss...no i'm not talking about it should be easy to use designed for average person, but the technology could be more reliable and have less errors that don't make any sense.

And i can't stand using a mac! i'd like the idea of linux coz it's more customisable than xp but on the other hand, that's not the point and life's too short and there's more meaningful things to spend time on. Even in xp even just updating drivers can be terrible, more so in linux...

So i use a pc with xp...not coz i like it but for some things it's useful. And i like it more than the alternatives.

i yearn for the good old days when i had 386 and dos 3.3 and if something screwed up i could always put Darkthrone playing, delete everything and install anew...all in 15 minutes and then everything was perfect. Granted, now i can do more with this thing, though.

Like play Doom & Quake!

ps. But i have inherent dislike for amd-processors, too.

you lie! no there isn't!

say it isn't so, please...?

heretic

Hey hey hey, hold it. i'm only talking on theoretical level, idealistically...like sometimes you hear words such as 'sex' and 'violence' and you wonder about them...but only for a sec. In practice you're right of course...those things don't measure up to quality time spent with computers.

Even listening to Sisters is much better from mp3-files on hard disk rather than on the beach with sunshine, girls, drinks and a ghettoblaster. i hate that.

the ST was great for music (I had a STE I must say....), and I loved the TOS

What kind of sparc is this exactly (and how did you get it)?

...also, what is solaris like to use (I'm a red hat unix user)?

I must admit I'm impressed.
