Our household seems computer heavy, but really we just keep our dinosaurs going forever.

I personally have (from newest to oldest): an ASUS EEE PC clamshell style netbook (6 mos old), a Compaq 15.5 laptop (1 year old), an ollllld Emachines laptop 17.5 (at least 6 years old), and an ancient HP desktop media center pc (7 years old) with snazzy CRT monitor.

Thank god for large capacity flash drives and external hard drives. I have no faith in computers not breaking down. I try to back my shit up in triplicate. The HD in the HP desktop went bad after 4 years and luckily I only lost 20% of my pics, music and docs - I replaced it though, and still use the computer as my jukebox bc I have a kickass speaker set hooked up to it (sub-woofer!). The Emachines charging port is messed up and will not recharge, so it only works plugged in.

Gary has his own stories and computer list. Although, and this is cutesie... we have matching laptops (two times over!).

Oh, are we talking about desktops too? Shoot. Then add two more machines to the four listed before. My Man is a computer nut so we have soooo many.

His desktop is a brand new HP.

My desktop is one [drumroll please!!!!] one my Man made!!!! Yep, a homegrown computer. Pretty sweet huh?

I FINALLY got my laptop tonight. Toshiba L5005, the one on sale at Best Buy this week for $499. Not a bad deal...

First thing i did after updating: uninstall Norton, Works, and any other trial software...who needs it?

I loves it and named it GLaDos...

My oldest computer is a Compaq laptop that is probably about 6 years old. Approximately 4 years ago when I was opening the porn store I work at (now only on the weekends) around 8am on a Sunday morning, a crack head came up to me and asked me if I wanted to buy a computer. He had the power cord, but was missing the cord that went from the power supply to the wall. So I told him I wanted to check it out. I knew we had one of those cords inside, so I plugged it in and it booted up. I then gave him the $40 he was asking. I used it heavy for almost 3 years and this included going with me across the country on tour a few times... and it still works fine.

Both my main computer & my laptop are Dell's. They're probably the best systems I've ever owned. I've had other brands, but they just never compare. HP does come pretty close in their laptops. I'd trade in my Dell laptop for the mini HP laptop, for sure.

You forgot HP. My laptop is an HP, main computer is a Dell.

Sorry HP users, no offense

*hugs my MacBook*

A 3 month old HP Pavillion laptop here.

Currently we (husband and I) have 3 laptops between us. I have two laptops at the moment. I have a Special Edition HP Pavilion dv2000 and I have a brand new MacBook Pro that I am currently trying to learn. When I get comfortable with the MacBook Pro I guess I will use it more often and use it for things like my blog. But I will still keep my HP, at least for awhile.

OKAY OKAY OKAY....
I think i milked this one enough heh...

Love PC's but after changing to Mac it's tough to go back

I was almost sold on a Mac too (in concept, i'm too broke) until I heard about a problem with their warranty:
If there is a smoker in the house, it voids out the warranty.

I'm still an ex-smoker (i hit bumps every once in a while, but i'm still not carrying), and it bugs me still.

HP laptop. It has its problems, so I'll probably try a new brand with my next computer. This one is creeping up on being 3 years old.

Mine is homemade, thanks to my wonderful boyfriend. I just wish he would finish it.

I have a crappy HP that I moved into a different case, as well as upgraded and added a few things, so it's slightly less crappy. For only being a year old, though, it's pretty far behind.

I <3 my HP with a passion. It's over 2 years old and has yet to screw up on me

I stick to Compaqs/HPs.

I have a Compaq desktop that I'm just ready to recycle; it's worthless. Love my MacBook though (bought to replace an Asus laptop that overheated to the point of smoking.)

My computer is so old! It's one of those E-machines from "wally world" It always makes this crunching computing sound... like the tower is full of robot monkeys cracking open computer peanuts. It's pretty bad. Sometimes I think it will blow up because it sounds like it's going to take off into space. It's probably time for a new computer soon. Haha.

Mac person all the way!

Mine died a while back. I had the choice of waiting months to gather enough spare money, or just using someone else's, so I went for the latter. Oh, and it's a Toshiba.

Compaq, this is hubbies favorite. So that is what we buy. He is a computer nerd.

Boyfriend has an HP of somesort... I share.

I bought myself a Macbook almost two years ago and love it!
