Heh... wish i was that age.

Ppl estimate me in my 30's now. I'm 27 FGS...And they used to estimate me 3-5 years younger...

What a harsh life can do to you.

I know exactly what you mean--if I don't tell people my age they think I'm in college.

Example: When I was shopping for another computer on the Internet, someone called me from a referral service, and we assumed I was in college--and that with hearing my voice! LOL

We're still friends. I designed his website soon after. It's here. My first professional design job. But I did it in exchange for a discount on my computer. A $1200 computer for $700. Unfortunately, I never got the $700 alone, so I'm still waiting to get my awesome computer to do graphics on. This one is my Cantr computer. LOL

Excuse ME.

MY cantr deserves only the best.

2.8 gHz, w/ HT and 800 mHz FSB
512M RAM
80G Hard drive
nVidia GeForce 5200 (not the greatest)
um...DVD drive and CD burner
and a Soundblaster Audigy 2 w/ 5.1 dolby digital surround.
XP Pro (if my university would let me I'd switch to Linux)

I wouldn't have spent the money (and actually should have bought a laptop) but I'd been saving up to go to europe but my trip got canceled 2 years running :-(

the compy was a consolation prize.

I don't know the exact specifics of my current system (my dad would rather redo my old computer there, then lend me some money to buy a new one. :roll:

) but it has 3 hard drives other than the system components drive, a surround sound speaker system, a wireless keyboard and mouse, and XP Pro with a bunch of awesome software.

The motherboard is old, because of the reasons I said above. :roll:

But it's okay for an old one, and it holds me over until I get my awesome one.

Not bad.

I've only got 1 hard drive but it'll work for now...

I don't use wireless bc it interferes with my speakers or something. Besides, I only use my computer at my desk.

I do use a thumb-trackball mouse, though, which nobody else knows how to use...means people don't ask to use my compy very much.

I use a thumb trackball mouse too--why does no one know how to use it?

west · Postby **west** » Mon Dec 08, 2003 10:07 am

don't know. which one do you use? mine's the microsoft trackball optical.

sammigurl61190 · Postby **sammigurl61190** » Mon Dec 08, 2003 10:08 am

Same here. LOL

west · Postby **west** » Mon Dec 08, 2003 10:09 am

Nice. I like it; can't see how everyone likes using the normal mice so much.

I know--your wrist hurts like crap after a while!

No wonder my mom has carpal tunnel.

Speaking of my mom, I was just greeted with the lovely sound of her alarm ringing for her to wake up!

sure signs that you're up too late
well, it's been real, but i have a final in 4 and a half hours
time to take a nap.

*winces*
this is going to hurt like hell.

sammigurl61190 · Postby **sammigurl61190** » Mon Dec 08, 2003 10:31 am

Good luck. I wonder what subject it is. LOL

The Hunter · Postby **The Hunter** » Mon Dec 08, 2003 12:12 pm

OK. Completely offtopic ofcourse, but upgrading a computer can be really cheap.

New MoBO, processor and AGP card and yer ready.

And I hate trackballs.
