    Second question: How many computers do you own (personal ownership)?
    Third question: What is the oldest computer that you own?

    1) I own 1 Acer Aspire One (pre-ordered)
    2) I have 4 computers at home. Another one with my dad
    3) tha oldest one was a Pentium 3 750MHz 100MHz FSB socket 370, then Celeron 2.0GHz 400FSB socket 478, Pentium 4 630 3.0GHz(with my dad) 800MHz FSB, Pentium Dual-core E2140 overclocked to 2.13GHz 1066MHz FSB, Core 2 Duo E4300 1.8GHz overclocked to 3.2GHz 1600FSB.

    Now, is that enough information?

    1) 1 Aspire One that is now with my sister to replace her current laptop that I setup for her.
    2) I don't know who to place ownership on... but I do tend to 9.. er, make that 14 computers on our property(shop, office & various outbuildings)
    3) Oldest and still owned: well that's almost a tie between an IBM Thinkpad i1400(366MHz) and a Dell Dimension tower with a 333MHz Pentium II. Both of those run Win 98 and are still very capable(Abiword, Gnumeric & K-Meleon) and quick even by todays standards, special thanks to Vista in making the current day super-processors move like a snail covered in molasses...

    --gah, and I thought i almost had something to talk about until I saw the last post... wow?

    I think I got you all beat in some of these charts:


    1 - Own one Aspire One

    2 - Own (total) over 30 - or 60, forgot to count..

    3 - ..Since I collect 'antique' hardware, nearly all working. My oldest is from 1976 (MOS Kim-1),

    (also got the first laptops: Epson HX-20, Epson PX-8, Tandy Model 200 - which conceptually are pretty similar to current netbooks.)

    :shock: Raido, you don't throw away computers?
    I trashed my Pentium 75MHz a few months ago, haha. That Pentium was the one that had the f00f bug. Windows XP always blue screens on me with that computer.

    I have a Acer Aspire One A150-Bb, Windows XP Home, 1GB DDR2 RAM, 120GB HD (Sapphire Blue) on pre order with amazon.

    I'm using a Aspire T180-UB7Z as my desktop of choice at the moment,. also on my desk I have a random assortment of computer parts that runs DSL which could probably do with being put into a case sometime,. I have got a pink imac, but last time I switched it on smoke poured out of the vents on the back and out of the cd drive so I have not used it for about 18 months. I have got an old Tosiba laptop with a cracked screen running windows 95 and a old think pad running XP with a unresponsive nipple, I will be getting rid of these two soon but I'm not sure how much I will enjoy using the A1s trackpad as by choosing IBM and Tosiba I have never used a trackpad.

    My first "computer" was a C64 I brought second hand for £120 back in '93, now there is a fine bit of kit, and the only thing I ever learned to program. I also have a 48k spectrum around somewhere.

    1) I own a white 8 GB / 1.5 GB / 3 cell / Linpus One. One One is enough for me :mrgreen:

    2) I own a total of 4 working computers including the One, 3 laptops and 1 desktop as a server.

    3) The oldest one would be the server. It's a 500 MHz Pentium 3 / 512 MB / 20 GB / Ubuntu 6.06-server put together from old spare parts. I've had a laptop as my main computer for the last 4 years. The oldest laptop is a Compaq Evo N160 1 GHz P3 / 256 MB / 20 GB, this was my first laptop and is around 6 years old. The bugger cost me about 1300 euros with an external CD-RW, it was ~50% off in a bankruptcy sale :shock: The most expensice computer I've ever owned :lol:

    Working computers? Five including my wife's laptop. I have one Aspire One, two otther laptops, and two desktops. If you include the wii and ps3, there's 7 nodes on our home wifi network and only two people live in our house!

    My oldest working computer is my 10 year old laptop. It's a Compaq Presario 9200 or something like that...bought in 1998. Its hard drive crashed and has been upgraded, and I had to replace its mousepad and a few other things, but it continues to run like a good solider with its 366mhz processor and 192mb ram (upgraded from 64)
