I don't actually use them, but in my house there are:
-A Commodere 64
-A Macintosh Classic (btw, the hd is 20mb, not 2)
-A Mac II SI
-One of those ill-fated 5xxx series Performa (a 5260/120, with a 603e processor)
-A Power Mac 7300 (200 mhz, with a 604e processor)
-A Rev.A iMac (G3 233mhz)
The first three are quite outdated...

True.

*finds out that someone has borrowed it*
Shit!


Oh, and I forgot. It runs on Windows 98 (the computer that is, not the NES). And I don't think it's the special edition, either...

Well, one of the physics labs in my school has a Apple II, and I have used an LD II. My Dad had an old 486 laptop that works, but he sold it for $50. We had this really shitty 450 Mhz Celeron, 10 Gigabytes, and a integrated processor, but ran slower than my dad's Pentium I 130 Mhz.

For a while I was using a P1 133 MHZ comp with 64 Megs of ram in 8 meg Simms but I upgraded to my current comp. Something happened to the P1 box but I'm not entirely remembering at the moment. I'm pretty sure it involved smashing of many superfelous components though. :D

The only computer in my house is a PII 233 with a whopping 32 MB of RAM, a 24x CD-ROM drive, and a colossal 4 GB of storage space. Oh, and a 56k modem.

My computer started out life (in 1999) as a P2-233, 64MB, 4MB ATI AIW, 6GB HD. I had the presence of mind to get a P2B motherboard (which allows for 100MHz FSB), and I've since upgraded it about five times to its current P3-500 with 384MB. Some day I'll have to scrap it and move into the real world of computing, but that day will not be today.
73% of all statistics are made up, including this one.

I'm waiting as fast as I can.
